Values are principles, standards, or qualities considered worthwhile or desirable, while Ethics are principles of right or good conduct or a body of such principles.
Every aspect of human behavior is governed by personal values. The definitions and interpretations differ from period to period, location to location, and situation to situation. Some human values have remained intact through centuries (i.e. courage) while others have declined (value of life).
Ethics are principles or standards of human conduct and are called morals. The moral regulation of behavior has been necessary to the society’s well-being. Morals were developed after religious taboos were violated by poor behavior (sins) and became habit or custom. Morals were formalized and made into arbitrary standards of conduct.
We should try our best to abide by the highest ethical standards and be quick to criticize when we fail or we see others fail to do the same.
