Ethics, also called moral philosophy, the discipline concerned with what is morally

good and bad, right and wrong. The term is also applied to any system or theory of

moral values or principles. Ethics could have come into existence only when human

beings started to reflect on the best way to live. This reflective stage emerged long

after human societies had developed some kind of morality, usually in the form of

customary standards of right and wrong conduct
