Morals vs Ethics Explained in 2 Minutes w/Memes

Morals not just subjective They are principles where most people in this world can agree on.

This is important. Thank you.

And then there is Donald who evidences neither morals nor ethics!

Bro pretty sure you mixed the two up

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.

INTEGRITY ?

This is exactly wrong and backwards. Morals are rules imposed by an external authority, usually the church. Ethics are an independent and internal sense of what is right and wrong. Try using a dictionary before you make embarrassing videos. Definitely not subscribing to this channel.

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

What dictionary did you use? Morals are taught, for example from a bible etc. Ethics are reasoned to, from philosophy and debate.

Ethics is applied morals

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

Ethics are a set of moral values.

Thanks.
I believe all professional corporations (Orders) work in the best interest of their members. Just as lawyers wil not go against their clients (guilty or not). It is called Deontology. Which is, to my experience, a mafia in itself with an Omerta rule: evaluation by the peers is used to maintain any outsiders at bay. And minimised the going public and to minimise also the reprecautions on the professional misconducts as much as feasable.

Isn’t it great to know that we don’t need religious cults like Christianity for morals or ethics? Especially since their morals and ethics are skewed.

feels like a "B-" grade for me

Granted definitions can change but not sure if I agree with these definitions. They seem rather arbitrary. Historically ethics and morals have been used as interchangeable concepts.

Morals - Latin
Ethics - Greek

Morals are subjective ethics are objective is it like that bro?

Both are gay

I recommend following up with a video on why both morals and ethics are needed for society to thrive (short answer: ethics are required for building and preserving societal trust, while morals are needed for times when ethics alone fail or can't advise in a specific situation).

Also, cut down on the transitions moving forward. Try to limit yourself to one or two highly relevant visuals per statement. The multiple cuts per second you used here is very distracting and hurts the video more than anything.

You have a unique definition of the terms. For example a belief system that exploits others is its self immoral as well as all the derivative law being unethical.

So national laws are also ethics.
Just that ethics can extend further than the laws based on the specific settings you activate in.
Or they can be in conflict with.

Basically conflict exists between morals and ethics, but also between ethics of different settings and even settings and subsettings ethics.

Thought-provoking!

Incorrect.
Ethics is what behaviors lead to productive outcomes, and which ones are destructive/counterproductive.
Morals is which one of those proven facts you chose to follow.

Right and wrong are objective, but which rules you chose to admit are real, and which ones you chose to deny shape your morals.

So, morality is moral subjectivism and ethics are moral relativism?

...Okay...

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...

So basically you’re like…

“Morals equals everything great and doing awesome…

Ethics equals everyone under control and enslaved by the system”…


I would argue that ethics protects us against enslavement of a system based on pure morals(Personal opinions) versus due process through social/legal contracts.

That’s good Jean-Luc, you’re doing well

You need to go back to the meditator and do some more meditating🗿






Also morality falls “under” ethics not conversely “separate” soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowhat are we talking about here?

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.

Norms are the part of ethics that fluctuate the most so we fall back on social contracts that back up our principles in order to protect our values…

That’s good John Luke Jean-Luc you’re doing well

Morals: wrong is wrong, right is right.
Ethics: alright time to fake my image to show that i am a good person.

Im personally struggling with the morals versus ethics dichotomy when reading the new testament
In Mark, Christ seems to be making an appeal to morals when saying "the Sabbath was made for the good of man not man for the Sabbath"

But then in Matthew, Christ seems to go 180 and say "Not a single jot or tittle of the law will be ignored" which seems to lean more to an ethics interpretation of scripture.
I pray that I accept whatever is of God's Word and have a nice day

This is the conventional modern definition of ethics. It ignores the broader definition of ethics in philosophy. Philosophical ethics are distinguished from metaphysics, epistemology, and aesthetics, and include morality, values, and virtues, as well as codes of professional conduct.
Leaving out the philosophical approach to ethics is potentially very confusing for your viewers.

From philosophy I know a different distinction.

Moral: A belief system of value judgements used by a person or group
Ethics: The science of moral system (what are they? how do they work? what influences them? ...)

Morals and Ethics. Two things that humanity ignores.

Ethics: Specific definition of what is considered wrong . Passing that red line is breaking the ethic. It has similarities to what LAW is.
Morals: Is weighing if somethings considered right or wrong . For instance is killing a murderer better or worse for the victims and society. In nature if you kill a bear cub then don't be surprised that the mama bear is going to kill you. Is nature morally right or wrong here?
Mama bear's moral was right to kill that person.
Me: if I observed this myself I would say that it was morally right to do so (killing mama is therefor morally wrong ). Now consider if this was switched out with a human mama with kids, is it still considered right ?
Me: Would I say it was morally right ? yes as I see no difference between a bear or a human in this instance.
Morals >> Ethics/Laws

Ethic is more of a logic based on moral.

an ethical man will have morals but a moral person will do unethical things to support there belief system especially politicians as in this country for political gain

Morals are empirical and Ethics are rationalistic but both obey logic.

My version:
MORALS: Deciding what is right or wrong based on social peer pressure without necessarily having an understanding of why. Often based on what an invisible being allegedly said thousands of years ago irrespective of modern circumstances.
ETHICS: Whether a shared or personal, deciding what is right or wrong based on facts and analysis, and taking into account current circumstances or new facts.
e.g.
Jews or Musilims who never eat nor serve pork is a moral decision.
Not serving pork that has been stored at room temperature in a Mediterranean climate is an ethical decision.
In this case, not serving pork is an identical outcome. But the moral reason is a fossilised version of the modern ethical one that does not take into account the invention of fridges, freezers nor that disciples now often live in much colder climates.

morals>ethics

Here's a thought:

The Republican/Trump playbook is essentially the elimination and removal of all ethical conduct in America by which to elevate the problem it addresses into the condition of a law.

Is this unadulterated table-flipping sabotage?

To fix this, could the Democratic Party go to the Supreme Court for an injunction against malicious governance, which is threatening the sovereignty and integrity of the United States as an adversarial activity from within?

I believe then that what the court could order is, in a very Canadian sense, a preamble cover document for detailing proof of DEMONSTRABLE JUSTIFICATION for any bill of law so signed by the President into effect. Otherwise, the bill of law can not be passed. It is this document that stands for or against the content of the bill of law in comparison of ways and means versus intentions, thereby capable of being challenged in court for being frivolous or harmful.

dude the frickin pictures and videos make the whole thing so funny 😂😂

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

The explanation was good. Maybe just not a different meme for each and every word, but for each individual idea. It tended towards being distracting

"morally questionable"....Crime is not morality. The founding fathers were terrorist is one fairly low hanging example. How many women and transfolks are in some violation of incoming administration policy and proposed law?

It seems both decision making strategies are to guide actions that affect others.

Morality = I have come to understand that these are the actions that are good and evil.
Ethicality = I have come to understand that these are the actions that connect or divide people.

Makes me think that this is what Jesus was truely speaking on when he said:
"For I have come to turn “’a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—"
-Matthew 10:35

I see a lot of us turning against tradition to do the good thing. When connection and cohesion are built around doing the wrong thing or even just ignoring terrible things when we see them (or both), doing the right thing suddenly is going to turn people against each other fast.

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.

In the thesaurus they are synonyms 😂

Great explanation. Thank you!

Basically what i learned,
Morals: what i believe i have to do
Ethics: What i am supposed or expected to do
