Abstract: Abstract The term ethics is derived from the Greek language (Greek ἔθος = habit, custom; ἦθος = an accustomed place) (Liddell Scott Joines Greak-English Lexicon, 2021) and means in modern English “a study of what is morally right and wrong, or a set of beliefs about what is morally right and wrong” (Cambridge Dictionary, 2021a, b). In practice, the terms “moral” and “ethical” are often used anonymously. According to Cambridge Dictionary, “morals” are “standards for good or bad character and behaviour” or “relating to the standards of good or bad behaviour … that each person believes in” (Cambridge Dictionary, 2021a, b).
