Values
An innate knowledge of what is right and wrong. e.g. How to behave in a library.

EXAMPLE:
You are a kid in the schoolyard. You see a bully. He thinks he is the “top dog.” That is fine. That perception is a value. When the bully picks on and/or punches the other kid – this is wrong and must be stopped. You see the bully picking on the other kid. You feel – in your gut – that this is wrong. Congratulations, you are moral. (By the way, most people are moral – they know the difference between right and wrong)
Now…you see the bully picking on the other kid. You overcome the embarrassment, and you go tell a teacher. Congratulations! You are ethical. (Ethics are moral values in action).
E.G Survivor – value is mateship, which means even if I don’t want to vote the person off that my alliance has said they want to I will because I have given them my word which makes me moral. I also know this is the right thing to do for my alliance which is ethical.
Moral values – truth, freedom,
A person who knows the difference between right and wrong and chooses right is moral. A person whose morality is reflected in his willingness to do the right thing – even if it is hard or dangerous – is ethical.
