How should we think about ethics? In order to answer this ultimate question, we must first understand the crucial concepts of ethics, but before we look into the concepts, it is essential to state the basic definition of ethic because the word “ethics” is the basis of the question. In our society, ethics is commonly defined as the study of morals, which are the standards of right and wrong that show humans what to do. Knowing this, we can continue with the concepts of ethics. First of all, we…

This type of murder is called honor killing (BBC-Ethics-Honour Crimes, 2016). Honor killings are an unfortunate part…
