What are the differences between morals and ethics?

Well the 1999 movie "Election" with Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon, answers this very question. Not with metaphors or hidden messages, literally there's a scene where this is being taught in a classroom. Broderick is the teacher, Witherspoon is an annoying overachiever.

He asks what the difference between morals and ethics is and the only one who seems to know is Reese Witherspoon. If you watch the movie not only will you be entertained but you will get you answer.

You're going to get a variety of opinions here, since there really isn't a lot of consensus on the terminology. Ethics, strictly, comes from Greek (ethos, which means character or habits) and thus I think ethics is more concerned with what kind of person you are, what beliefs and principles you accept, and that kind of thing. Morals, though, comes from Latin (mos, meaning custom or tradition) and applies more to the codes that a society deems appropriate or acceptable.

Though, it can also plausibly be used to refer to a personal code of conduct that you accept (which would, I think, be a product of your ethics). Again, that's my (etymological) argument for the definitions, though I'm sure there will be others. I happen to like this one, since the word origins seem to give good clues as to what the terms meant originally.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
