Question: For you, What is being “ethical”?

- For me, that is who is honest and follows good moral standards and obey a law or obligation,
it is equivalent to saying his duty to do so, and use the adjective ethical. Ethical comes from the
greek ethos “moral character” and describes a person or behavior as right in the moral sense,
truthful, fair, and honest.

- Ethics are the set off moral principles that guide a person’s behavior. These morals are shaped
by social norms, cultural practices, and religious influence. Ethics reflect beliefs about what is
