There is a nuance difference between ethics and morals.
Morals: Divine inspired, permanent, infallible, a doctrine... Read about morals and the world “God” keeps appearing.
Ethics: The law of the land, the corporate policies, whatever the social standards of conduct are. Read about ethics and you see references to philosophers, the law, and corporate policy.
Public education has been teaching ethics, not morals. American government is ethical, not moral. American corporations (most of them) are ethical, not moral. Why does this matter? Ethics do not exist. Ethics are whatever you want them to be. Ethics are situational dependent, inconsistent, and not based on what you see as moral (the Bible). Once you cross the threshold and switch to ethics as your goal post of right and wrong, it really just becomes a form of mob rule, whoever can sell an idea best to the public. Right and wrong no longer exists in such a society because it’s all “relative.”
Ethics are cool, because folks accept the idea that right and wrong is situational dependent. So you can be inconsistent and still not be regarded as being wrong or being a liar! It’s just another “version of the truth.”
Just a few examples, but there are many more: the government subsidizes the meds for HIV/AIDS patients but not for cancer, heart disease or diabetes. We will count a pregnant woman that is murdered as a double homicide but she can abort this baby right up until the point of birth depending on where she is. Get what I mean? There is no doctrine at work, and people are not even upset nor see anything as being odd when you have these glaring inconsistencies. If you murder my wife, it’s just a murder, if you murder a protected class it could be a “hate crime.” If I want to marry a cousin or practice polygamy that would be frowned upon, if I immigrate from the Middle East folks look the other way. If I’m Home Depot, American Airlines, Lowes hardware, I get to stay open because I’m such an essential to life business during the COVID-19 scare, but if I’m a poor Latino hairdresser I have a government task force conduct an undercover operation and have me arrested because I’m not following social distancing rules.
You are applying moral standards in an ethical country that left you behind.
