Ethics is the systematic study of what a person’s conduct and actions should be regarding self, other human beings, and the environment; it is the justification of what is right or good and the study of what a person’s life and relationships should be, not necessarily what they are. Ethics is a system of moral conduct and principles that guide a one’s actions regarding right and wrong, oneself, and society at large. Applied ethics requires the application of normative ethical theory to everyday problems.
