Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethics refer to a system of beliefs that dictate how individuals should behave in order to be considered morally upright. This system can be used to derive standards of conduct and behavior. Mores and values are related concepts, but they do not necessarily involve a system of beliefs that dictate behavior in the same way that ethics do. Recriminations refer to retaliation against someone for something they have done wrong, but this term does not relate to a system of beliefs.
