of their community or society as a whole who may
or may not share the same ethical principal?

Difference between Moral & Ethics
Morals define personal character, whileethics stress a social system in which those
morals are applied. In other words, ethicspoint to standards or codes of behavioursexpected by the group to which the
individual belongs. This could be nationalethics, social ethics, company ethics,professional ethics, or even family ethics. Sowhile a person’s moral code is usuallyunchanging, the ethics he or she practices
can be other-dependent.

Diff. between Moral & Ethics (con.)
Example: A criminal defense lawyer. Though
the lawyer’s personal moral code likely finds
murder immoral and reprehensible, ethicsdemand the accused client be defended as
vigorously as possible, even when the lawyer
knows the party is guilty and that a freeddefendant would potentially lead to more crime.
Legal ethics must override personal morals for
the greater good of upholding a justice system inwhich the accused are given a fair trial and the
prosecution must prove guilt beyond a
reasonable doubt.
