​@@thatoneaggressivegamer idk about ethics being objective. Just my opinion I'm not knowledgeable in this field.

Transcript-y version for my future self. The vid is incredible concise and straight to point so not much of a reason to read this unless you wanted to copy this to your knowledge management system or smth. ## Morals - Principles that shape an idea of right and wrong. - Influenced by - Environment - Culture - Our belief system - They provide foundations for ethical systems. ## Ethics - SPECIFIC rules and actions that dictate what's acceptable behaviour. - More practical and less subjective than morals. - Also it is applied to more people in general, and morals are mostly individual-based. Main difference is that morals are personal principles people have, and ethics are practical rules and expectations for a specific group that they expected to follow regardless of their personal principles. What's ethical may not be moral and vice versa. --- Amazingly concise vid, great work man.

[@lungaskosana7546]

I don't know. The way I see it is ethics are by definition influenced by environment and culture... which are both shaped by the collective belief system are they not? I still fail to really see the difference. I see it as it's like differentiating between "gender" and "sex". You can make a case for it but ultimately it still feels like an argument for argument's sake. What do you thonk?

[@coerciasink]

@@lungaskosana7546 Morals are personal, and ethics aren't. Something maybe morally ill for someone but okay for someone else, but if they view the ethics in that situation, they should arrive at the same conclusion. also, again, gender has a lot of definitions and stuff but sex doesn't. If different doctors see your body they will arrive at the same conclusion about what your sex is, but if the person says that that is not what they feel like their definition of gender is, well people nowadays are okay with that. Basically ethics are much more objective than morals. Obviously ethics are different in different places, but they are definitely much more objective than morals.

[@9Johnny8]

Interesting. Morals: from Mores, customs: the usual or expected behaviour of people. Ethics: from Ethos, character: a more personal disposition. At some point, these words have switched meaning from what you'd expect looking at their etymology.

[@PeeGee85]

Morals in this sense seems to assume that people share the same innate traits. Ethics seems to be about what has been taught or arrived at through reason. Nature and culture, feelngs and facts, what is innate and what is acquired. One is non-negotiable, the other is negotiable. So, your examples examine a specific dimension of the words, but they have more meanings when used in different contexts.

[@Badbentham]

One possible dimension is that companies and other organisations ( like the Mafia), as "in-groups" , expect personal loyalty , through peer-pressure if necessary, from their workers, that stands "above" moral considerations of the general culture. And personal consciousness as well, which would be the trademark of "actual" ethics: Martin Luther's "Here I stand!"

[@vrj8791]

Morals is the English translation of the greek word "Ethics." There is no difference!

[@RegulusFlaminiusIndicus]

"I didn't know I needed this video" category. Well explained.

[@isaiahfisher2337]

This only applies to the colloquial terms. When we're talking about philosophy/religion, the terms actually *are* interchangeable. Usually. "Moral Philosophy" and "Ethics" are pretty much synonymous academic terms. When a philosopher is talking about what is "Ultimately good" or "Ultimately bad," they usually won't draw a distinction between "Morals" and "Ethics," they will use the terms interchangeably. An action being "Moral" is also "Ethical". Also, even colloquially, if someone believes in a certain ethical system, that ethical system CAN BE their morality, and so the two terms in their case would be interchangeable. There's no functional difference between "Christian Ethics" and "Christian Morals," or "Utilitarian Ethics" and "Utilitarian Morals". So if you consider yourself a hardline Christian or a hardline Utilitarian, your Ethics will be your Morals.

[@ThePNGGUY]

Yes, this is mostly true. Philosophy do see ethical frameworks and moral frameworks as the same. There is some merit in drawing some distinctions between the two when it comes to how the terms are generally used day to day, in the work place e.t.c.

[@josephwilliams5292]

I always thought the philosophical distinction between morals and ethics was that ethics are like a system of basically “grading” the weight of actions with the same morality. Morality tells you things are good or things are bad, but no more than that, which is why you have ethics to decide “ties” or whatever you would call it when morality dictates two options are either both good or both bad. Like the trolly problem is a dilemma because by most systems of morality both options are bad, but it interrogates the ethical system a person subscribes to by asking which option they believe is *less* bad.

[@umbraemilitos]

It seems wasteful to not draw a distinction.

[@Skumm93]

@@josephwilliams5292 Think of Ethics as a trinity of balancing positions, with morality/values being one portion of the collective balance. Morality is within Ethics, but Ethics is fundamentally between three different modes of categorization of distinction. Utilitarian, Value, and Principles: The first is the most good for the most people whether or not it brings some harm to others in the process, the most utilitarian option gives the most good. Values are morality, they're your personal understanding and how you live your life based on your own code, they are how you maximize the benefits in your life and minimize the harms. Principles are laws, they are what is set into place by those in authority to help regulate humanity in any given community or society. Think religion, that is principled ethics over utilitarian ethics or value ethics. The Ethics problem, including the Trolly Problem, is a theoretical exercise in balancing ethical conundrums as people try to steer the collective towards an ever better answer of how to persist as a society. Colloquially, this in turn makes Ethics to be the morally good understanding of how to bring the best benefit to society in the best ways, and to minimize the most harms while doing so. In summary, morality is tied within Ethics, but Ethics is a broader metaphysical equation of how to bring the most good out of any given problem while minimizing the most bad that can occur to the most amount of people possible.

[@thac0twenty377]

That's the problem with religion. Religions have an ethical code that allows you to belong to a subculture and they state its an objective morality when it is not.

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

Ethics is greek and morals is latin. It's only recently within living memory that these new definitions were applied, and they can still be pretty much interchangeable.

[@ThePNGGUY]

To go a little deeper if you’re interested. “because it’s what’s right” is only an assertion, not a justification for the first assertion of you ought follow moral guidelines. Basically what you’ve just said is I follow what’s right because it’s right. It’s circular. Why is it right & How do you know it’s right? Ultimately what I’m getting at is that a lot of people vaguely understand these concepts but they don’t know what it means to justify and or ground a belief. They just “feel” that something is right or wrong and that’s it. This is understandable because most people don’t know much about meta-ethics. I just thought I could maybe spark your interest in philosophy a little deeper than surface level basics.

This video seems much more like an effort to convince people to see things a certain way (that morals are good and ethics are - not as good) rather than to sincerely address the nuances of morals and ethics.

[@ThePNGGUY]

Ethics as used colloquially CANNOT arrive at "Good" by itself. The word "Good" and "Bad" are referring to Morals NOT Ethics, you view ethics through your moral paradigm and not the other way around. Morals are necessarily MORE 'important' to an individual than ethics (as used colloquially) in the sense that it is presupposed when talking about ethics.

[@MP-db9sw]

@@ThePNGGUY 1) your reply basically confirms the accuracy of my comment. 2) the choice to only acknowledge the "colloquial" use of the words was _a choice_ - equally valid is the view that the words both historically and scholastically are functional synonyms, literally interchangeable, at least in some academic (and in fact, colloquial) settings. 3) putting those points aside, accepting the distinction that youve drawn and going from there, if morals are the abstract X = good/right and Y = bad/wrong value judgments each of us believe (for whatever reasons, some more or less defensible than others) then ethics would be the navigation of moral dilemmas and the application of moral judgments in the complexity of real life, where moral imperatives often pull us in different and even conflicting directions. If murder is wrong then what do we do with murderers? Is capital punishment an answer arrived at morally or ethically? Are lynch mobs morally or ethically justified? Or due process and equality under the law? What about abortion - when the mothers chances of surviving delivery are very low? How low do her chances of survival have to be for abortion to be morally or ethically acceptable? How about medically assisted sue-ee-side? Or in a broader sense, just the overall body of ethically-determined standards of best care practices in the various fields of medicine? It might seem that my personal (but abstract and for the most part, hypothetical) moral code is more important to me than the ethical standards of care followed by doctors but that may change _when I need a doctor_ Look, Im not trying to insult you or demean your work. But if I had to categorize the channel based only on this video and my choices were A) education - a thoroughly researched and unbiasedly presented explanation, meant to inform the viewer _as completely as possible_ of the important elements of a topic so that they can make an informed conclusion for themselves or B) propaganda - an incomplete and selectively presented explanation of a topic meant to convince the viewer to understand a topic in the specific and limited way that the presenter wants them to understand it, Id have to call it B) propaganda. The other option would just be a presentation made by someone who didnt bother to really learn the topic before making the video. The internet is flooded, saturated, polluted with way too much of B and C and really, _really_ needs more A) educators.

[@johnopalko5223]

I've always thought of them the other way around. Morals are normative cultural dicta while ethics are based on personal beliefs and values. Morals are imposed from without; ethics arise from within. It's not impossible that something a person feels is ethical behavior could be construed as immoral by the community. By the same token, behaviors that society considers moral or even desirable may be rejected by someone who feels those behaviors are unethical. Legal illegal, moral immoral, and ethical unethical are, by and large, orthogonal axes.

I remember asking that question to my religion teacher before the internet was big. The answer didn't really satisfy me, though I can't remember it. My gut feeling at the time was that our society sees "morals" as bad and "ethics" as good, even though they're kind of the same. Interesting video. Though I do feel it's kind of wrong, emphasis on kind of, I think the words do mean the same. The word shift indicates that there is a new dominant rule system although that happened long before our time.

[@s1os2s3]

No, they are not. Here is an extreme example and what is the answer according to morals and according to ethics. Scenario: The family is poor, has no means to feed another child. Moral it is not to abort the child. Not because whatever it is argued today but because you kill a potential human being that might pull the family out of poverty. Ethical it is to abort the kid and not put him through the same pains you have been. However, both are subjective. Morals are set by a majority. Ethics are rules agreed upon by everyone. Or if you want a less sensitive topic. I have ethics. I always deliver the item in a good shape. I keep my car clean and well maintained. When you are being professional, that is an ethic. You are not always moral if you are a lawyer but you are always ethical because being ethical wins you clients and money. Morals do not always win you clients, nor money. Ethics are pragmatic rules. Morals is an ideal.

@@s1os2s3 If "Morals are set by a majority. Ethics are rules agreed upon by everyone" then that to me creates a problem with your definition.

Ethics are not restrained by morals. It is a code you create for yourself and business and if you want to do business with others you also have to respect theirs. Say I create my own ethics: 1. I leave my desk clean and always leave everything in order. I am not required to do that. The company has a cleaning lady to do that but it is one of my ethics to leave the place I use as I find it or if it is in disorder I make order and leave it in an order. It is a set of rules that people appreciate you for. You dont have to do X but you do it because it is part of your code. Ethics can be withdrawn if you feel like the person is stepping on your nerves. They are rules enforced by you, individually. Even someone immoral or amoral have ethics.

@@s1os2s3 So what you describe in the last section is a work ethic. But in German we wouldn't use that word in that sense we would maybe say professional attitude.

OK, time for real talk. “Ethics” is generally comprised of Values, principles, beliefs and norms. “Values” weigh the odds between damage and helpfulness “Principles” are sets of guidelines based on social groups and personal need to make decisions. “Beliefs” are things that we understand which can formulate our principles. “Norms”Are essentially where we land as a society in terms of what is acceptable and what is not which is subject to constant argumentation and scrutiny.

[@highlevelproductions9742]

Morals and desires don't always line up... like if one desires to hurt people, Immoral desires is what's classified as mentally ill

[@CarpeDiem-rm2vm]

Reminder that a belief-system doesn´t need to be religious. Quite the contrary: it´s rarely about religion but about our own interpretation of what we were told as children. As such it is crucial to educate young children to develope a capacity for empathy and cooperation. Or bloodshed and violence if that´s where we want our society to go...

[@jacopoarmini7889]

so, if I understood correctly, ethics is just applied morals to a societal scale

[@BigBadBossu]

ethics serves the collective, morals serves the individual

[@christophergraves6725]

Morals and ethics are the same. What this video is getting at is something like a professional code of conduct that derives from objective ethical standards such as not becoming sexually involved with a co-worker. It is immoral to take advantage of a co-worker but sexual involvement with a particular person can also create divided loyalties. The former is objectively immoral while the latter is not conducive to the efficiency of the organization.

[@kirkdarling4120]

I agree. His definition of "ethics" is just "organizational code of conduct." Morals are what people believe to be right and wrong _however_ they come to believe it..he did note that correctly. Morals just _are_ whether they make sense or not, whether they're even internally consistent or not. Ethics is what a _person_ believes to be right and wrong within a formal, logical structure. Ethics must maintain internal consistency, or at least recognize it as a problem where they do not maintain internal consistency.

[@christophergraves6725]

@@kirkdarling4120 I agree with the way you drew the distinction between morals and ethics although they can and usually do coincide in substance.

[@TheSensationalMr.Science]

Morals = Principle or Idea of what's good; goal of goodness, an ideal Ethics = how to get there with rules; honor system Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!

Funniest class on ethics I eveR took was The State CA training, it litterly taught unethical practices.

[@someonenotnoone]

Ethics are just expressions of morals. I can either reserve my moral judgments for the appropriate time, or I can lay them out a head of time. Ethics are derivative of morals and attempt to communicate them to others objectively.

[@gordonlawson2334]

This maybe hard to understand because the definitions of ethics and morals don’t separate them vs each other. Both define right and wrong behavior. Objective right and wrong. Ethics is used as the term for a philosophical perspective of objective morality. Moral is used to describe an individual’s adherence to ethical behavior.

[@virno69420]

Theyre synonymous

[@fran3ro]

Just in case for people reading comments, personal codes of conduct aren't always more just or right than ethic codes. I know it's not what the video said, but the examples kind show that and people tend to over-interpret things, specially when moral seems freedom and ethics oppression.

[@pedropaulosoaresrosafilho9822]

Its the same thing, the greeks called ethics, and The romans moral, they are translations

[@adhd_coach_nic]

Great content, but theres way too many flashes between imagery and it’s extremely distracting & hard to focus on what youre saying.

[@mrcdad]

My way to distinguish the two is to use the first letters (M) Morals are Mine, and (E) Ethics are External

[@kerwinbrown4180]

Your definition of ethics includes that individuals should do what they believe is hateful.

[@gordonlawson2334]

may likely be IMMORAL 😳

[@gunsgalore7571]

This distinction is kind of iffy though, because then you have very specific rules (ethics) grounded in religion or other moral belief systems, making things a bit grayer than that

[@cedricjustina.alcoseba6880]

This idea reminds me of Jin Sakai (Moral) and Lord Shimura (ethics) from ghost of Tsushima Lord Shimura: JIN, THIS IS NOT THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI!!! Jin Sakai: YOUR WAY CAN'T ALWAYS SAVE OUR PEOPLE!!!

[@ThePNGGUY]

This is sickkkk, I just got ghost of Tsushima on PC not too long ago. Makes me so happy that I understand exactly what you’re saying.

[@unknowncaller7530]

While the earlier comment is correct regarding how interchangeable the two words are in the fields of philosophy, this doesn’t mean that using them interchangeably is accurate. Our understanding of “ethics” comes from Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics, where he refers directly to Ethikos Arete, or acting from virtue. Ethics in this sense is a habit, a tendency of (the soul in this case) something to act in a good manner. Having a good ethos was conjoining intuition (what feels right) with rational thought (what we can reason to be fair). A law-based understanding of how to act in a good way didn’t come around until Christianity became popular. This is where morals come from (Egoism, utilitarianism, etc all being moral theories). Morals are law or rule based, for example don’t lie, or do what is natural. Ethics in the true sense is a result of being a virtuous person, and therefore wanting or having a tendency to act according to virtue.

Gran video! entendí todo! tranxalot

[@deshaunmeans81]

In short, morals are doing what you truly believe to be right but ethics is just following rules of the current setting or environment you’re in

[@thac0twenty377]

Here. You are a paramedic in a hallway at an Emrgwncy Room. You see a man who will doe without intervention and have all the equipmemt and knlwoedge to save him If you save the man: 1 Is it morally correct? 2 Is it ethically correct?

This world's alignment table be like: Ethically Moral - Neutral Moral - Unethically Moral Ethically Neutral - Impassive Indifference - Unethically Neutral Ethically Immoral - Neutral Immoral - Unethically Immoral

[@gordonlawson2334]

In that scenario you aren’t necessarily acting morally if you’re doing just whatever you believe you should do if it’s not in line with what should ethically do. You’re doing what you believe!! And

[@herohamza1196]

People when you do something right: Do not care did not ask People when you do something wrong: 😮😤😠😡🤬

[@Deadset767]

Ethics are just morals written like a religious text. It helps psychologists and psychiatrists understand how to keep you at your hierarchical job by prescribing you drugs adjusted by policy and procedure. “Thank you for protecting me from those robbers Steve,that was good. But you protected me with a gun at a ‘no weapon’ facility. You’re fired for being inappropriate.”

Let me save everyone 2 minutes, 'Ethics is Morals overthought'.
