“These monuments must not represent hate in any form, so we must consider removing any that no longer represent beliefs, values, and ethics of the majority of our community members.”

I stumbled across this word while reading “Drafting a thesis statement”. I heard of the word “ethical” before but I never truly understood the denotation. In the context of the reading It had words such as “beliefs”, “values”, and “community”. I knew it had to do with peoples morals and general behavior and how it effects one another in a community. There’s a difference between “Ethics” and ” Ethic”, not only due to the fact that ethics is the plural version but “ethic”  means a set of moral principles, especially ones relating to or affirming a specified group, field or form of conduct. The word ethic originates from Greece.
