'''Ethics''' (via [[Latin]] from the [[Ancient Greek]] grc [[ἠθική]] [[φιλοσοφία]] "moral philosophy", from the [[adjective]] of [[ἤθος]] ''ēthos'' "custom, habit"), a major branch of philosophy, is the study of [[Value theory|value]]s and [[Custom (law)|custom]]s of a person or group. It covers the [[Philosophical analysis|analysis]] and employment of [[concept]]s such as [[right]] and [[wrong]], [[good and evil]], and [[moral responsibility|responsibility]]. It is divided into three primary areas: ''meta-ethics'' (the study of the concept of ethics), ''normative ethics'' (the study of how to determine ethical values), and ''applied ethics'' (the study of the use of ethical values).
