Behavioral ethics is a new field of social scientific research that seeks to understand how people actually behave when confronted with ethical dilemmas. It refers to behavior that is judged according to generally accepted norms of behavior.
Ethics should not be confused with manners, etiquette or aesthetics. Occupational ethics generally do not cover issues of dress or politeness, nor should it address rhetoric, self-presentation or style. A code of ethics is about moral principles and ideals of behavior. Ethics promote equity and justice, respect for people, and personal and professional responsibility.
