Hey, I'm retarded; what is the difference between ethics and morals?
ethics is based on functionality or whatever. morals is literally "because i said so"

They're the same thing, but for historical reasons which I don't care to explain in detail here, the word ethics became associated with the public sphere and morals with the private. So you could say that ethics = public morals; morals = private ethics.

Cont.
Now that you have the formula to relate the two terms, you can go back to the original Aristotelian definition of ethics as right conduct according to practical reason (sophrosyne) and conclude the rest.
