The enlightenment of ethical behavior shall emerge when through our own conduct we teach and exhibit goodness showing virtue, especially moral excellence of character and behavior. - Conforming to standards of common sense, what is right, just in behavior and virtuous, to live a moral life. - Ethical politics is a result of the rise of conscience and the awakening of the sense of right and wrong as a moral obligation and ethical certainty.  Ethics is based on strong and firm conviction, rather than physical or tangible effects.
