Morality = being moral
Ethics = being ethical
Ethical = doing the right thing
Moral = doing the right thing

What's the difference? I'm getting a PhD in Philosophy, and the only one I can think of is connotational... People associate "morality" with the phrase "personal morality" meaning an individual's code of ethics, while they associate "ethics" with phrases like "business ethics" meaning an code of rules accepted by a community. However, both terms refer to the same thing, Doing What is Right.

If you disagree with my choice of terms, feel free to substitute "Morality" with "Good Action" or "Ethics" in my posts.
