The ethical term
refers to a group of rules that govern our actions and values and that serve
as a standard in a society. Some authors recognize it from the ethical term,
while others treat it as synonymous. Personally I see a slight difference for
the essence, morality is prescriptive and when misinterpreted is seen as
negative and serious.

Ethics is
defined by The Concise Oxford English Dictionary as "the science of
morality, the discourse on it, the moral principles or the rules of
conduct."
·
Rushworth Kidder
claims that "the common ethical meanings often contain expressions such
as" the science of perfect human nature "or" the science of
moral duty. "
·
Richard William
Paul and Linda Elder call ethics "a series of concepts and principles that
guide us in determining which behaviors are helpful or offensive to the
beings."
·
The Cambridge
Dictionary of Philosophy states that the word "ethics" is often used
in conjunction with "morality," and sometimes it uses the narrower
meaning of the moral principles of a particular tradition, group, or
individual.

In the western
world, ethical meanings return to Plato and Aristotle. Ethics comes from the
ethos, a Greek word that means character, behavior and / or practice. It is
about what the right morals and values are for members of society and
individuals themselves. Ethics helps us to decide what is good and good or bad
and bad in a certain situation. In terms of leadership, ethics is about who the
leaders are - their character and what they do, their actions and behavior.

Ethics, on the
other hand, goes on in a dialectical way, that is, it uses a rigorous
assessment to show the flaws of logic and the contradictions of reasoning and
tries to abandon them. It also links to what should or should not be done, but
it does this by using reasoning, for or against, to determine the behavior that
is taken when confronted with a moral problems.
