What is the relationship between Ethics and Molar

I think of ethics as an intellectual exercise, something that can be taught in a classroom. Ethics is analogous to manners. Anyone can study and apply ethics for any reason because ethics doesn't include motive.

But it takes a moral person to be moral because moral is a state of being, not an intellectual exercise. Morality does include motive. The only motive worthy of morality is an obligation to a higher moral authority than ourselves.

I agree with the first two people. We can see that Ethics and Morality have gone hand in hand. That is a good question, I myself, was not able to distinguish them. It's nice to see good philosophical questions on here, sometimes philosophy is hard to find in the philosophy section. If you don't find what your looking for dictionary.com usually gives a good understanding of words. Be careful of being trapped by your words and language, realize the essence of things are more important than the words attempting to describe them.

morals are what society deems right or wrong, or what people expect from you, ethics is up to you, it means living a right and satisfying life, so you could say that morals is the practice of ethics, and oh molars are your back teeth used for chewing

They're essentially synonyms. Morals tend to have religious connotations and ethics tends to refer to the philosophical inquiry into morals. Ultimately they come to the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
