Ethics is the philosophical study of moral principles and reasoning that guide human conduct, focusing on questions of right and wrong, good and bad, and fairness. It involves developing well-founded standards for how people ought to act, rather than just describing how they do act, often through analysis of concepts like rights, obligations, and societal well-being. Derived from the Greek word for "custom," ethics examines different theories and approaches, like deontology and virtue ethics, to establish reasoned standards for behavior and decision-making.
