Ethics or moral philosophy is the branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term ethics derives from the Ancient Greek word ἠθικός ethikos, which is derived from the word ἦθος ethos (habit, "custom"). The branch of philosophy axiology comprises the sub-branches of ethics and aesthetics, each concerned with values.
As a branch of philosophy, ethics investigates the questions "What is the best way for people to live?" and "What actions are right or wrong in particular circumstances?" In practice, ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality, by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. As a field of intellectual enquiry, moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory.

Although we might not realize it, we all face ethical issues on a regular basis. But how do we know how to respond well to these issues, to make better (as opposed to worse) ethical decisions? In this TEDx talk Dr. Michael D. Burroughs discusses the numerous kinds of ethical issues we face, possibilities for increasing our ethical awareness as "everyday ethicists," and the importance of introducing ethics and philosophical education in our schools. Dr. Burroughs also discusses the role of ethics in the lives of children and ways in which adults can attempt to understand and learn from children in ethical discussions. Michael D.

ETHICS
ministerial ethics
You know I’m living this for you
I’m sorry, for failing
I’d try as hard as I can do
I’d waste my, whole lifetime
They said for years that I’d been lost
Please tell me, where I was
To hide the agony of loss
I need you, to speak up
Maybe I was cold
Maybe I was somewhere in between
Maybe I was cold
Maybe I was wrong
To cross the bridges of control
I need to, just hold you
I know the drugs will take their toll
I need them, to hold on
To let reality have dreams
I need to, to be me
I run as far as I can see
I wake up, and it’s not me
Maybe I was cold
Maybe I was somewhere in between
Maybe I was cold
Maybe I was wrong
Repeat until:
You know I’m living this for you
