Patricia's behavior can be classified as amoral because she doesn't seem to have a sense of right or wrong and doesn't care about the consequences of her actions. It's different from being unethical, which suggests a deliberate choice to do something wrong. Patricia's behavior seems to be more a result of apathy or a lack of moral compass. It cannot be classified as ethical or moral since there is an absence of deliberate action to uphold a moral code.
