Ethics and values

Ethics and values are important for individuals and societies. Ethics are rules that guide behavior based on principles like truth, justice, and honesty. Values are more personal beliefs and preferences. Both ethics and values involve honesty, integrity, and respect. Societal values can become ethics if most people follow them. Ethics and values evolve over time and differ between cultures and locations. They help societies and individuals function, though sometimes values must change to address new issues in ethical ways.
