Explain Ethics and its relationship to Philosophy. What is the difference between morality and ethics?

Morality and Ethics has a big part in our daily life. Ethics is a rules or things that we used to do that recognized
in different communities, group or culture with respect. While morals are principles or habits prescribes what
is right and what is wrong. As a person, sometimes we think ethics and morality are the same thing but as time
goes by and by the help of moral philosophy, we can conclude that the are different. Ethics are followed
because the society has decided that it is a right course action that differs to morality because morality is
followed because of the reason that a person believes that it is the right course of action. With that we can
conclude that when it comes to ethics it can be pronounced through an agreement with the society, many
people needs to agree before it can be implemented while morality is came from just one person’s belief, if
he/she believes to something that he/she think it is the best thing to do then he/she will do it. Nowadays, we
can say that ethics is more dominant than morality. During this time, the impact of society plays a huge role
when it comes to ethics and morality. Example a person believed that same sex marriage is a sin and a wrong
course of action but his friends and relatives some of them are LGBTQ and they are all agree with same sex
marriage and that is a big factor to change his beliefs regarding to same sex marriage. Ethics and morality is
part of us so if we have different beliefs to others we don’t need to argue with them and decide who is right
and wrong , what we have to do is respect their beliefs/perspective in life and if they don’t respect yours still
chose to respect them.
