Introduction: According to the definition of ethics, ethics is a general set of rules that are very important to follow for membership in society. Also, morality guides the individual to act correctly to live in the society. These particular rules are common throughout the world and are part of a person's moral principles nurtured by family and culture. Each person has his own unique morals and ethical behavior because the culture he was born and raised in is different. After all, when we talk about someone's behavior, one of the most important factors is morality. We must live by establishing rules that make us acceptable and respected in society, whether at home, at work, or in a professional environment.
