Conover Practice Exam

Principles or personal standards that help you decide between right and wrong are called ______.

Morals Ethics Policies Values

Correct Answer:

Ethics

Explanation:

Ethics is the set of principles or standards that guide how we decide between right and wrong. It provides a framework for evaluating actions and making consistent choices across situations, including personal conduct and professional duties. While morals are our personal beliefs about what’s right and wrong and values are what we consider important, ethics sits as the organized approach to determine ethical behavior and justify decisions. Policies are external rules from organizations, which ethics can help interpret and apply, but ethics itself is the reasoning structure you use to decide what’s right.
