Ethics: set of standard as to what is good or bad, or right or wrong in a person"s conduct, societal construct, constructed truth, what everyone in society believes about doing certain things.

High profile cases concerning what is ethical vs. what is legal can lead to changes in law. Alternative views of ethical behaviour: utilitarian view.
