Morality is sometimes identified with ethics, and sometimes contrasted with it. If contrasted, the moral is thought of more narrowly, as the right, the obligatory, that which is our duty; the ethical is taken to concern proper or correct behaviour more generally. Virtues of character such as steadfastness, modesty, and self-respect are more properly thought of as ethical than as moral. Charity, kindness, and considerateness would be moral virtues. Morality is also sometimes thought of as a system or set of rules or principles that can be applied to particular cases to tell us what to do. But to be appropriately sensitive to the needs and concerns of others seems to be different from approaching them with a set of rules in hand — Professor Jonathan Dancy
