 Ethics – refers to that a social system provides us with. Ethics is based on well-founded
standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of
rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues.
 Morals – are our own principle. Refers to relating to the standards of good or bad
behavior, fairness, honesty, and such that each person believes in, rather than to laws.
 Normative Ethics – attempts to evaluate or create moral standards and prescribes how
people ought to act.
 Descriptive Ethics – describes how people behave and what types of moral standards they
claim to follow.
 Law - the discipline and profession concerned with the customs, practices, and rules of
conduct of a community that are recognized as binding by the community. Enforcement
of the body of rules is through a controlling authority.
 Religion - human beings’ relation to that which they regard as holy, sacred, absolute,
spiritual, divine, or worthy of especial reverence. It is also commonly regarded as
consisting of the way people deal with ultimate concerns about their lives and their fate
after death. In many traditions, this relation and these concerns are expressed in terms of
one’s relationship with or attitude toward gods or spirits; in more humanistic or
naturalistic forms of religion, they are expressed in terms of one’s relationship with or
attitudes toward the broader human community or the natural world.
 Culture - refers to the cumulative deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values,
attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations,
concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a group of
people in the course of generations through individual and group striving.
 Subjectivism - is the theory that perception (or consciousness) is reality, and that there is
no underlying, true reality that exists independent of perception. It does not, however,
claim that "all is illusion" or that "there is no such thing as reality", merely that the nature
of reality is dependent on the consciousness of the individual. In an extreme form, it may
hold that the nature and existence of every object depends solely on someone's subjective
awareness of it.
 Psychological ego - in psychoanalytic theory, that portion of the human personality
which is experienced as the “self” or “I” and is in contact with the external world through
perception. It is said to be the part that remembers, evaluates, plans, and in other ways is
responsive to and acts in the surrounding physical and social world.
 Ethical egoism - is the view that people ought to pursue their own self-interest, and no
one has any obligation to promote anyone else’s interests. It is thus a normative or
prescriptive theory: it is concerned with how people ought to behave.
