    Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch[1] of philosophy that involves systematizing,

    defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct.[2] The field of ethics,


    along with aesthetics, concerns matters of value, and thus comprises the branch
    of philosophy called axiology.[3]
    Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and
    evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. As a field of intellectual inquiry,
    moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics,
    and value theory.
    Three major areas of study within ethics recognized today are:[2]

    1. Meta-ethics, concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions,


    and how their truth values (if any) can be determined
    2. Normative ethics, concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of
    action
    3. Applied ethics, concerning what a person is obligated (or permitted) to do in a
    specific situation or a particular domain of action.[2]
