What is the difference between ethics and morality?

Answer by  DougThomas (74)

Ethics are a framework of best practices for personal or professional conduct. While they reflect our ideas about morality, they are (for the most part) externally generated and enforced. Conversely, morality is the innate compulsion to do the right thing. It is internally generated on often internally enforced.

Morality is your direct conscience to an action: It is wrong to kill, I feel bad when I kill, It is wrong to steal, I feel bad when I steal. Ethics takes on a business sense, in which you think more of the implications. If I create a product, and it hurts people 20 years from now, it is bad.
