	Moral core
		The moral core of an individual, also called moral fiber or moral instinct, is described in some theories of ethics as the limits to the rationality of ethics itself, i.e.
		A moral core is presumed to be formed by epigenetics, including especially parental moral examples, and the slow growth via cognition of a set of conditionings, inhibitions[?], and concepts of beauty through his or her entire lifetime.
		The opposite belief, imposing various degrees of standardization via a moral code and its enforcement, usually in a legal system, is that such cores either can be shared or are irrelevant to the process of social control and learning proper conduct, e.g.

	Moral relativism Summary
		Moral relativism does not equate to moral pluralism or to value pluralism (which acknowledges the co-existence of opposing ideas and practices, but does not require granting them equal validity).
		Moral relativism generally stands in marked contrast to moral absolutism, moral realism, and moral naturalism, which all maintain the existence of moral facts: facts that entities can both know and judge, whether through some process of verification or through intuition.
		Moral judgments, like religious ones, belong to a stage of ignorance at which the very concept of the real, and the distinction between what is real and imaginary, are still lacking: thus "truth", at this stage, designates all sorts of things which we today call "imaginings".

		Purchasing has the responsibility for making the final determination of the source of supply, quantities, delivery schedule and price negotiation except where others are authorized to do so.
		Purchases made without proper authorization, or not in accordance with District Policy, could be considered a personal purchase and may become the financial obligation of the purchaser/employee.
		Purchasing will check the employment data base on all contracts to verify that the proposed “consultant” is not an existing employee before processing the request.

	Fair trade
		Although few modern fair trade proposals go so far, they all include varying degrees of reliance on mandatory labels[?], moral purchasing and use of tax, trade, and tariff law to guarantee that truly "unfair" products cannot compete with those produced locally.
		Presumably, since each purchaser and producer are part of the same community sharing some risk of bodily harm due to infrastructure lacks or failures of emergency response or policing or government, there is an implicit and common standard of fairness assumed in all such local trade.
		Trade outside the borders of the community is at higher tax rates, with more complex trade rules including labels, and at higher tariff rates, to pay for the difficulties of assessing and equalizing the risks borne by the community for its involvement in remote production and (potentially) exploitation.

	Ethics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This link between morality and religion has been so firmly forged that it is still sometimes asserted that there can be no morality without religion.
		Given that human beings are social animals, the origins of morality can plausibly be explored through examination of the social behaviour of non-human animals and the evolutionary theory for such behaviour.
		It seems likely that morality is the gradual outgrowth of forms of altruism that exist in some social animals and that are the result of the usual evolutionary processes of natural selection.

		Those who are concerned about the moral dimensions of health care delivery now find themselves in the uncomfortable position of either continuing to advocate for a politically infeasible expansion of public coverage or defending the current unaffordable and inefficient health care delivery system.
		The purchaser becomes a member of a community-based team whose joint purpose is to maintain or improve the health of the community as a whole.
		Thus, it may only require that 10-15% of purchasers in some health care markets become morally conscious purchasers for the Just Caring-Purchasing approach to be widely disseminated; the remaining 85%-90% of the purchasers will become moral free-riders, who will over time come to expect moral outcomes as a normal feature of their health care purchasing.

	Ethics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One strand are commonly termed 'non-realist', because they suggest moral values are creations, dependent on people's feelings and goals regarding themselves and others (emotivism or prescriptivism) or on their belief systems (cultural or individual relativism).
		Another group of 'realist' theories, by contrast, hold that moral value is somehow an intrinsic property of the world and that ethical principles are discovered or intuited.
		By the 1960s there was increased interest in moral reasoning.

	Ethical consumerism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often, moral criteria are part of a much broader shift away from commodity markets towards a deeper service economy where all activities, from growing to harvesting to processing to delivery, are considered part of the value chain and for which consumers are "responsible".
		Moral boycott is the practice of avoiding or boycotting products which a consumer believes to be associated with unethical behavior.
		Alternatively, the decision may be the application of criteria reflective of a morality (or, in the terminology of ethics, a theory of value) to an individual, family, union, or other group's (corporation, university, government) purchasing decisions.

		Modern economic thought is usually said to have begun with Adam Smith in the late 18th century.
		One way economists deal with this is to qualify discussions of economic choice by noting that "all else being equal..." referring to moral or social factors that are supposedly held equivalent for all choices that one might make.
		Another premise is that economics fits within a finite ecosystem where there are at least some abundant resources - for instance, when fueling a fire one is usually concerned with finding the wood, and not so much with finding the air to burn it with.

	Wikinfo \| Ethics
		Ethics is the general term for attempts to state or determine what is good, both for the individual and for the society as a whole.
		However at least some academics define it as the problem of defining the highest good and may consider the problem of being "good" as not the concern of the philosophic discipline of ethics.
		The view that ethics is innate and tied to a personal moral core or aesthetics is harder to relate to the formal categories above other than as a meta-ethics in itself.

		Ethics (from Greek ἦθος meaning “custom”) is the branch of axiology, one of the four major branches of philosophy, which attempts to understand the nature of morality; to distinguish that which is right from that which is wrong.
		For example, it may not be a breach of etiquette to fail to give money to help those in poverty, but it could still be a failure to act morally.
		In contrast, a non-ethical sentence would be a sentence that does not serve to (morally) evaluate something.

	Fish in Captivity - Article at The Age of Aquariums - Tropical Fish
		Throughout the world we will find all types of people, from those who couldn't care less if a fish is being mistreated, after all "it's just a fish", to those who sanctify any animal as a 'divine' creature and therefore it is not man's place to rule over the life and death of it.
		The problem is that many people end up forming their opinion or 'moral', leaning towards one direction or the other, without having a minimum amount of information to base it on or, worse yet, do it based on myths and downright wrong concepts.
		Therefore aquarists wishing to position themselves morally at this point can fully enjoy the hobby by purchasing only species that are bred in captivity, leveling the hobby with the keeping of cats and dogs as already mentioned, with no impact on nature.

		This Code acts as a mechanism in that it is now incumbent upon the College to terminate any purchasing relations if evidence is presented to the College by members of the community or outside organizations that a firm the College purchases apparel from has violated the College's Code of Purchasing.
		Once a violation has been found and purchasing relations have been, the burden of proof lies with the firm to show that it has improved working conditions.

		Non-philosophers usually use or interpret it to refer to elements of professional practice that are part of dispute resolution or which have some great potential for bodily harm: urban planning, medicine, law, politics and theories of civics.
		The theory of conduct studies, on a general level, what sorts of actions are morally wrong, permissible, obligatory, and supererogatory (beyond the call of duty).
		So to view these as an objective basis for ethics may be seen, by the optimist, as a first step to a formal method for evaluating and quantifying ethicality and morality of human actions.

		The movement includes several international organizations, but more often describes a loose affiliation of activists and political interests that rally around a shared purpose.
		The movement often tends to be a loose, reactive and event-driven collaboration between groups with motivations as diverse as humanism, nationalism, environmentalism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, hospitality, ideology, theology, and fear.
