Ethics or morality?

The word moral has always been subject to devaluation; on the other hand, the word ethic sounds better, without derogatory feelings. This may well be the reason why the term "ethics" has come into use much more, but the word "morality" is increasingly being pushed back.

The lecture aims to provide clarity, to clearly demarcate the two terms and to show how a society gives itself guidelines for behavior and action.

Finally, a humoresque to the moral, as only life can invent.
