Intro NACE Ethic

This document compares and contrasts ethics, morals, and values. Ethics refer to principles of conduct that establish what is right and wrong for a group or profession. Morals are systems of belief determined by one's culture or religion that judge actions as right or wrong. Values are principles or standards that help individuals determine what is important on a personal level, influenced by experiences and socio-cultural factors. While ethics apply broadly, morals and values are more personal and can vary between individuals and cultures.
