As we have learnt in our
classroom during the first days of this term, we know some things about ethics
and morality.
DIFFERENCE – Ethics and morals
both relate to “right” and “wrong” conduct.
However, ethics refer to the series of rules provided to an individual by an external source, for example, his/her profession. On the other hand, morals refer to an individual’s own principles regarding right and wrong.

WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
Ethics come from a social system, external, and morals come from an individual thought, internal.

WHY DO WE DO IT?
Ethics -> because society says it is the right thing to do.
Morals -> because we believe in something being right or wrong.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE DON’T
TAKE THEM INTO ACCOUNT?
Ethics -> we may face societal disapproval, or even be expelled from our job.
Morals -> doing something against one's morals and principles can have different effects on different people: they may feel uncomfortable, remorse, depressed etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One professional example of
ethics conflicting with morals is the work of a defence attorney. A lawyer’s
morals may tell her that murder is reprehensible and that murderers should be
punished, but her ethics as a professional lawyer, require her to defend the
client to the best of her abilities, even if she knows that the client is
guilty.

If you have not understood the
concepts that I've written, you can listen this video in which a man is
explaining the difference between ethics and morality. His english is very good
so there are things that are difficult to understand. It is not compulsory to
listen it, only another resources to know what the difference is.
I hope you enjoy and like my post. If you have any doubt you only have to ask me.
See you soon!
See you soon!
