Ethics is about right and wrong. Ethics isn't about right and wrong. Ethics is complicated. If someone tells you ethics are simple, they are trying to be simple about something that isn't.
I can't give you an honest definition of ethics. But I can support you to examine how you determine what is right and what is wrong (which is actually, the application of morality).
