3. Ethics In philosophy, ethics defines what is good for the individual and for society and establishes the nature of duties that people owe themselves and one another

4. "What does ethics mean to you?" A few years ago, sociologist Raymond Baumhart asked business people, "What does ethics mean to you?" Among their replies were the following: „Ethics has to do with what my feelings tell me is right or wrong.“

5. "What does ethics mean to you?" „Ethics has to do with my religious beliefs.“ „Being ethical is doing what the law requires.“ „Ethics consists of the standards of behavior our society accepts.“ „I don't know what the word means.“

17. Conscience the complex of ethical and moral principles that controls or inhibits the actions or thoughts of an individual.

18. Conscience Through conscience and its related notion, synderesis, human beings discern what is right and wrong. While there are many medieval views about the nature of conscience, most views regard human beings as capable of knowing in general what ought to be done and applying this knowledge through conscience to particular decisions about action. The ability to act on the determinations of conscience is, moreover, tied to the development of the moral virtues, which in turn refines the functions of conscience.
