Applied ethics

Applied ethics is a branch of ethics that studies how people should act and make decisions in particular situations. It is like a decision-making guide and helps us think through what is the best or right thing to do in a difficult situation. Applied ethics looks at the possible harms and benefits of an action, so that people can make an ethical decision. It also considers the impact of an action on people who are affected by it. Just like other parts of ethics, applied ethics helps us decide what is right and wrong.
