Ethics is a broader concept than just following written codes or rules. While a violation of a code or rule may be considered unethical, there are many other behaviors and actions that may also be considered unethical even if they are not explicitly prohibited by a code or rule. Ethics involves making judgments about what is right or wrong based on principles and values, not just on following rules.
