Do you have ethics? Scientists defined ethics as the social behavior and moral as natural personal behavior. Ethics have been developed years B.C. where every civilization put its own ethics and rules. Religion as well was the main element in enhancing and developing the human social behavior. The main challenge for the applied ethics comes with the controversial moral issues, which faces the conflict of interest between the plaintiff, person-in-duty and defendant, to each other or to the society. Ethics and morals affect the human behavior, where a need to understand what is it, and which level one stands at becomes a necessity, not only for personal development but also for the society peaceful development.
