Ethics is the branch of philosophy that deals with questions about morality and values. It examines what actions are right or wrong and how we should decide which values to pursue. Ethics helps us resolve conflicts about values and determine the proper course of action for humans. It provides guidance for organizing our goals and acting successfully to accomplish our most important values. The study of ethics explores different types of values like intrinsic and extrinsic values, and considers how ethics relates to other domains like religions and science.
