Expert Solution

Ethics- It reflects moral frameworks that assist in decision making in the context of goodness and badness.

Therefore, it can also be said that ethics deal with the "rightness and wrongness" of the actions.

Ethics are not absolute for the simple reason that there's no uniformity in the ways people live their lives.

Ethics ae relative because the moral facets of one's own existence depend on the basis of the society, culture, region wherein the person was born and brought up.

Thus, there may be a contracdiction in terms of ethics. An action which is right and good in one culture/ society may be treated as wrong and bad in some other culture and society.

It's quite natural and obvious that ethics vary from one culture to another. This world, being so vast and human nature, so deep and varied, there will never be absolute ethical principle but there will be varying and relative ethical facets.
