Ugh 230209 people tried explaining this to me. but somehow it's all the same. Values are way more personal though. I'm mixed up with ethics and morals.
Morals to start with is being able to make the difference between GOOD and bad and right or wrong. I find morals to be very religious most of the times.

Ethics to me seemed more like almost a social paradigm covering also all the social laws and rules.

ah for fuck's sake I have no fucking clue.

ethics and values are the social rules stated by society, that everyone shares, and morals are INDIVIDUAL, every person has his or her own morals, in other word, his or her own scale of what's good and what's bad, different from society's ethics and values.

ethics- a group agreement on right principles and beliefs
morals- involves some sort of judgment as to what is right or wrong. Which principles are right or wrong may or may not be decided by a group.
values- closely linked to the finicial meaning of the word. Someone's values are things they find great emotional/spiritual wealth in.

Did you just answer your own question? lol. I think all of them could be considered both personal and universal. Religions have strict code of moral, but then a person with no religion has some basis of what they consider right or wrong. I think it's down to the individual to whether they adheer to someone elses, or go by their own.

I see ethics as something that is externally imposed more than morals and values which ideally should come from within. I actually don't really like the idea of morals, because it has dogmatic connotations for me... Wait, I think I'll amend that. I would say values are a set of principles that you have for yourself. Morals would be good or bad based on how you apply your values in practive (though of course I would argue that your actions dictate your values and that if there is tension between what you act and what you value, there's a problem). And finally ethics would be how you apply an external set of principles that allow you to function in relation to other people (not just judge yourself).

But I am constantly surrounded by notions of ethics that are highly regulated, so I suppose I would see ethics are external. I think you could violate ethical standars without violating morals or values. If something has the appearence of being unethical it doesn't mean you've acted contrary to any values or morals (yours, society's).
