Ethics via distance learning
This program of ethics reviews the issues that involve systematizing, defending, and recommending the concepts of right and wrong behavior. Ethics is a system of moral principles practiced by a person or group of people concerned with what is good for individuals and society. It is also described as moral philosophy. While they're closely related concepts, morals refer mainly to guiding principles, and ethics refer to specific rules and actions, or behaviors. A moral precept is an idea or opinion that's driven by a desire to be good. An ethical code is a set of rules that defines allowable actions or correct behavior.

The wide range of human peace and conflict experiences and the complexity of interactions at both the local and the global levels make it very difficult to have single answers to these questions.
