There's maybe an interesting illustration here of the difference between morals ("do the right thing") and ethics ("follow the rules"). A lot of people like to emphasize that they've "acted ethically", knowing that people will misunderstand that as "I did the right thing" when they actually mean "I did everything I could technically get away with".
- walshemj 9y agoNo ethics does not mean just following the rules The definition is "moral principles that govern a person's behaviour or the conducting of an activity" A LE person is not ethical because they follow the rules - to use a DnD Trope
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoThat may be what you and I mean by it. I've been to enough corporate ethics seminars to know that when corporations talk about "ethics," they mean something much narrower.
