Ethics which is synonymous with
morals connotes customs, habits,
and accepted ways of behaviour of
an individual or community (Lacey,
1976). He further sees ethic as an
inquiry into how men ought to act
in general, not as a means to a
given end, but as an end itself.
For Walkings (1956: 12), ethics is
a system of moral principles,
while for Hornby (2000) quoted
in Ezeani (2006) ethics is a
system or moral principle that
governs on influences a person’s
behaviour.
Egbeke (p. 21) cited in Okeke (2004)
ethics is a branch of philosophy
which seeks to establish and
rationally defined a universally
valid theory of what is right and
wrong, good and bad, which can be
used as a set of moral principles
guiding human actions.
