Aren't basic ethical views and societal norms the same thing?
- austincheney 6y agoNo. Ethics refers to rules and their practical application. Such rules can exist for any number of regulatory concerns and often define social norms given time.

- caturopath 6y agoThat's one reasonable perspective to take, but most people don't share it -- most of us think that something can be popular and bad.
