Summary
Examinations of whether particular actions or intentions are ethical or not must grapple with the questions of what the applicable ethical standards are, how people may act in particular situations and why. These are difficult questions and the subject of much inquiry. There are many schools of thought and disciplines for answers, from religious traditions to philosophical to psychology.
