(This is a good conversation, be patient)
I use the term culture, because it is far more accurate to describe the social climate.
Usually, that's decided by the primary caregiver, as our parents (and then our peers) are the ones that directly teach us morals and social behavior. Although, detached from the school of psychology, I believe once we come into abstract thought, those morals should be stacked against ethics to see if they are truly correct.
OK, so ethics...where do you decide ethics from? (to me these are synonymous words)
