Ethics is a subfield of philosophy that studies moral standards, values, and

guidelines that direct people's behaviour in contexts of society, It also deals with
what is ethically acceptable and unacceptable (what is right or wrong). In
philosophy, ethics establishes the nature of obligations that people have to one
another and to themselves, as well as what is best for the individual and society.
This area of research examines normative issues on the behaviours and moral
standards that people should uphold.
In contrast to law, which is a system of rules and regulations enforced by
governments to keep society in order, ethics are based on personal conduct.
Although ethical concepts serve as the foundation for some laws, not all ethical
behaviour is enshrined in legal structures. Meanwhile, jurisprudence studies law
and legal systems from a philosophical standpoint, it explores the nature, history,
and importance of law in society. Jurisprudence relates to both ethics and law, but
it seeks to understand the philosophical principles underpinning the legal system,
not to determine whether something is morally right or wrong. As opposed to
philosophy, politics is the study of how power and resources are distributed in
society. Politics is primarily concerned with governance and policy-making and
ethical issues may influence such decisions.
