1. Morals

   Morality (from Latin moralitas 'manner, character, proper behavior') is the differentiation of intentions, decisions and actions between those that are distinguished as proper (right) and those that are improper (wrong). Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from a particular philosophy, religion or culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal. Morality may also be specifically synonymous with "goodness" or "rightness". Moral philosophy includes meta-ethics, which studies abstract issues such as moral ontology and moral epistemology, and normative ethics, which studies more concrete systems of moral decision-making such as deontological ethics and consequentialism. An example of normative ethical philosophy is the Golden Rule, which states: "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself."Immorality is the active opposition to morality (i.e. opposition to that which is good or right), while amorality is variously defined as an unawareness of, indifference toward, or disbelief in any particular set of moral standards or principles.

1. morals

   Morals refer to a set of principles or rules that govern an individual's behavior or actions, based on their understanding of right and wrong. Usually shaped by societal norms, cultural and religious beliefs, or personal convictions, morals serve as guidelines for ethical conduct, helping in making judgments about the appropriateness or inappropriateness of certain actions. Morals often dictate what actions a person considers to be good, bad, acceptable, or unacceptable in their personal life and in their interactions with others.
