  5. What is ethics ? Ethics is also known as moral philosophy. It is what is right and what is wrong. In most relationships people break up over ethical and moral values. Either one of them cheated or stole. Ethics is really a person's values. How they were brought up and what they believe is wrong versus what they believe is right. A person might steal a wallet because it is laying there and see no problem with it, whereas another person might think that stealing the wallet is wrong and unethical. - medical ethics - religious ethics
