Savater´s first three chapters

During the first three chapters of Savater´s book "Ética para Amador" I have been trying to figure out a couple of terms that really set me thinking: choices-right or wrong-morally accepted or immoral,etc. All of them share implicitly the notion of Ethics. Every time a person makes a choice ,he/she is immediatedly judged by society and these judgements are based on the morality of their acts. What I`m trying to say is that Societies`acts are limited or conditioned by these basic terms and that no human act can avoid them. It doesn´t matter if we agree or not on what is right what is wrong , what is morally accepted or not . We´ll always be restricted in some way or other by the nature of these concepts and that is a relevant thing.

What is Ethics?

There is no such an easy answer. However, Ethics is present in every single aspect of our daily life. Every choice we make has in some way or other some kind of Ethical action,or hasn´t it?
