Ethics are moral rules or principles of behavior for deciding what is right and what is wrong.
For instance, the use of animals in scientific research raises some difficult ethical issues. However, modern ethics seem to be to get as much money as you can without worrying how you get it. In all organizations, ethics and the law go hand and hand. The law is not a series of rules that are imposed on society, it rather reflects society's customs and values and reinforces all principles and behavior that seems right and just to society. The laws that govern an organization reflect directly or indirectly the moral assumption that business people should act ethically when they are dealing with one another.
