There's obviously a big overlap between ethics and morality. So how do we differentiate the two sources of law? To me, ethics are the result of a process of critical thinking. Morality is inherited and learned based on our peers and culture. In other words it's a case of deductive vs. inductive reasoning.

FWIW, here's another way to characterize the difference between ethics and morality:

Ethics is a set of rules about what one person can do to another person. Is this act harmful to another person?

Morality is a set of rules about what a person can do to their own self. Is this act harmful to me?
