Ethics Versus Morality, What's the difference?

[Sammy Jankis]

Morality is internalized while ethics are externalized. That is, morality is a personal thing while ethics are how you act towards others.

It is perfectly possible that someone can be totally immoral and at the same time totally ethical. That is, they're a 'monster' on the inside, while following the rules of society in dealing with others on the outside.

Moral Incompetence? Why Individuals Can Be Ethical, Too

This final post on the social nature of the individual highlights the dangers of regarding the individual as irredeemably selfish and immoral.

For example, you could have the landlord that will turn you out on the street in a second for any reason whatsoever. Immoral, but ethical.

that's not it.

morality is also about how you treat others.

one is bullshit.

some profit is immoral.

Profit is not immoral.

 

[Into the Night]

Slavery isn't profit.

Yet again, immoral to YOU, perhaps, but perfectly moral in the eyes of that landlord.

Like beauty, morality is in the eye of the beholder.

Yet a hermit feels moral being a hermit, and has no interaction with others at all.

My point is the landlord could be a totally rotten SOB in terms of his own view of things but is perfectly ethical when dealing with tenants.

he does no harm, that is a form of positive morality.

modern professionals and businesses don't understand that anymore.

no gotcha here.

that's just called legal.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

that's just called legal.

But most would say it's immoral but legally ethical. For example, many apartment leases now include some sort of "Criminal conduct" clause.

CRIMINAL CONDUCT POLICY Clause Examples | Law Insider

CRIMINAL CONDUCT POLICY. a. The Landlord endorses and enforces the “Criminal Conduct” policy which provides for zero tolerance of illegal drug use and criminal activity by residents, their households ...

These are usually a zero-tolerance policy and often very generalized and sweeping in nature. A landlord could evict on you simply because you had someone over to your apartment to visit for an hour or two who has a criminal record. If the landlord wants you gone, they cite this incident as "associating with a known criminal" and out you go. This goes on your history with that landlord / rental company, and you suddenly find you can't rent a decent apartment because of it.

I'd call that immoral, but it is legal ethically.

Now the reverse is Justice Kenji Jackson who has repeatedly now demonstrated that she cares little about legal ethics while foisting her views of what's moral and right on the court in her written opinions and commentary. The law be damned! The right thing to do is...

So? That makes no difference to my statement.

You just locked yourself in another paradox. You cannot argue both sides of a paradox.

modern professionals and businesses don't understand that anymore.

Random words. No apparent coherency.

Legality has nothing to do with it.

Depends on the State. Some States have more or less restrictions in their landlord/tenant laws.
