What is the difference between morals and ethics?

Ethics and morals both relate to “right” and “wrong” conduct. However, ethics refer to the series of rules provided to an individual by an external source. e.g. their profession. On the other hand, morals refer to an individual’s own principles regarding right and wrong.   (www.diffen.com)

I think difference is morals are looked in personal life and when you are related with a business or corporate or doing  a business your ethics are judged so both are important

morals are related to spiritual aspects of people.

But ethics related to thr rules and principles which coduct the professionals in any work.

So, any profession has its code of ethics.

 

Morals refer to the personal principles, habits to do right or wrong, it is the character that define it. It is internal to human because we belive to something that is right or wrong. On the other hand, Ethics refers to person's belief due to profession as in professiona ethics, it is external and governed by external system!

I see that moral is speritual and ethics are physical

for teh purpose of helping:

http://www.thewritingsite.org/ethics-morals/

Moral: Concerned with principles of right and wrong or conforming to standards

of behavior and character based on those principles.

 

Ethics:The principles of right and wrong that are accepted by an individual or a social group.

A system of principles governing morality and acceptable conduct.

I believe that morality is what the entrenchment of good temperament and qualities favored by every man and ethics are the highlights of the actions and behaviors necessarily refer to the ethics of the person issued by him.

Ethics

Morals

What are they? The rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc. It defines how thing are according to the rules. Principles or habits with respect to right or wrong conduct.It defines how things should work according to an individuals' ideals and principles. Where do they come from? Social system - External Individual - Internal Why we do it? Because society says it is the right thing to do. Because we believe in something being right or wrong. What if we don't do it? We may face peer/societal disapproval, or even be fired from our job. Doing something against one's morals and principles can have different effects on different people, they may feel uncomfortable, remorse, depressed etc. Flexibility Ethics are dependent on others for definition. They tend to be consistent within a certain context, but can vary between contexts. Usually consistent, although can change if an individual’s beliefs change. The "Gray" A person strictly following Ethical Principles may not have any Morals at all. Likewise, one could violate Ethical Principles within a given system of rules in order to maintain Moral integrity. A Moral Person although perhaps bound by a higher covenant, may choose to follow a code of ethics as it would apply to a system. "Make it fit" Origin Greek word"ethos" meaning"character" Latin word"mos" meaning "custom" Acceptability Ethics are governed by professional and legal guidelines within a particular time and place Morality transcends cultural norms
