Ethics (moral philosophy), is a branch

of philosophy that involves systematizing,

defending, and recommending concepts of

right and wrong conduct. The term comes

from the Greek word ethos, which means

“character”. Ethics is a complement

to Aesthetics. In philosophy, ethics studies

the moral behavior in humans, and how

one should act.
