    spiritual principles’ while ‘ethics relies on materialist and
    social consequences of actions’ to determine right or wrong
    behaviour
     Other schools of thought argue that line between moral and
    ethics is arbitrary
     And that Ethics is simply a formal branch of Philosophy that
    concerns itself with the study of morals and their derivation
