Ethics is a philosophical study of the moral value of human conduct and of the rules and principles that ought to govern it. A social, religious, or civil code of behaviour considered correct, esp. that of a particular group, profession, or individual. Under this is: * A virtue is a Habit that inclines people to do what is acceptable. * Vices are Habits of unacceptable behavior. * Value system is a Scheme of moral values.
Values are a belief, a mission, or a philosophy that is meaningful. Whether we are consciously aware of them or not, every individual has a core set of personal values.

Attitudes can be defined as a positive or negative evaluation of people, objects, event, activities, ideas, or just about anything in your environment, but there is debate about precise definitions.
