The purpose of ethics is an investigation into possible sources of morality, the study of the effects that morality or lack thereof has on people and look for the basic philosophical premises on which could be a rational way to create collections of moral precepts (Martinellie, 2002, 41-52).

Ethical views normally take the form of the theory, which consists of team concepts and claims resulting there from, from which to formulate sets of morals. Ethical theories can be both an attempt to prove the validity of performing common moral precepts, and may stand in fierce opposition to universal morality, questioning the validity of part or even all current orders in a given society. Ethics examines the genesis, nature, the specifics of morality reveals its place and role in society, reveals the mechanisms of moral regulation of human activity, the criteria for moral progress (Martinellie, 2002, 41-52).
