ETHICS
-If you Do not commit an unethical action, it does not mean you are ethical, it only means you are NOT UNETHICAL.
-If you commit an Ethical action, then it means you are ETHICAL.
HUMAN RIGHTS
-A human right is ANY ACTION, that does not commit an unethical action on another person, or sentient being. WHY? Because it is respecting other people's right.
-We have the right to do whatever we want, excluding being unethical to another person, because it is violating their rights in some way.
-We also bear the PERSONAL responsibility to being ETHICAL to other human being. WHY? Because if I do nothing, by my non-action, I am partaking in an unethical action. And that is not a legitimate right.
All Ethical actions are morally binding.
All Ethical actions are part of human rights.
If someone avoids a morally binding action, then it becomes an unethical actions.
There are two ways of losing your rights:
1. By someone illegally taking your human rights away.
2. You illegally taking someone else's human rights away.
Whenever someone takes someone else's rights away, they themselves run the risk of losing their own rights.

In Ethics there are two main thoughts:
1. Ethics is subjective, meaning that it depends on the actual person's values, views, likes and dislikes.
2. Ethics is objective, meaning there are universal laws that govern behaviour – and that is the rights and freewill of individuals to do what they want. And that it is NOT determined by personal preferences or choices.
Subjective Morality / Ethics
Boundaries: Based on man-made laws, civil laws, commercial laws, which change from location and time.
Morality: Based on people's opinions, perspectives, likes or dislikes at any given time or with at any given location
Conscience; Based on punishment. People are kept in check by the fear of punishment.
Freewill: Based on if you can get away with it, I am inclined to do .
Objective Morality / Ethics
Boundaries: Based on the law of peace and harmony. Does not change irrespective of time and location.
Morality: Based on the rights of other people and yours.
Conscience; Based on the guidance of the principle of Ethical value to others.
Freewill: Based on the individual alone.
We can categorize the two main views as:
-Subjective ethics, the “ME principle”
-Objective ethics, the “YOU principle”
Objective Ethics, are universal natural law, that give rise to cause and effect on individuals, societies, and global community, based on the actions taken by people. They are the guiding force of every intelligent sentient being with their conscience. These values do not change, irrespective of time and location
Subjective Ethics, are man-made values, that infringes most of the time on human freewill and human rights in one way or another.Not only that, these man-made constructs keep changing from location to location, from time to time, based on the preferences, likes, dislikes of individuals.
