<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 3347644, member: 57463&quot;]If you want more than this short answer, we should create a General Topic for &quot;Morality and Ethics.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, with no other people around, you do not need any social virtues and you cannot have any social vices, by definition. But you must make very many choices to stay alive. Those are, by definition, moral choices: right or wrong? pro-life or anti-life? for me or against me? And by how much? Your island has wild fruit. You could make alcohol and spend your (now fewer remaining) days drunk. Or you could prepare ground, harvest the fruit, plant it, and have more fruit to eat later. And so on. You are surrounded by choices in an uncompromising situation. Morality is the study of choice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ethics is social behavior. </p><p><br /></p><p>We confuse them in common speech, just like speed and velocity or power and energy and work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
