understand "right and wrong" differently. So what makes your understanding better than that of any old redneck or primitive tribesman with a set of human heads in front of his hut? He after all has an "innate" understanding, too.
Having a set of morals is different from adhering to moral behavior in practice. Ethics apply, more I think, towards a code of behavior for a set of individuals such as a profession. Lawyers can behave immorally while still staying within the confines of the ethics of their profession.
