In the literal sense, philosophy refers to as a liking towards wisdom. And in a broader sense, it is an activity undertaken by people when they attempt to understand the truth about their surroundings, themselves, and their connection with the world along with people. Philosophy is also an academic discipline and the concepts are the same. Students undertaking this discipline are generally engaged in arguing, answering, and asking for answers to their questions about themselves and life. For systematizing this study, it has been separated into major study areas.

In its moral form, philosophy constitutes ethics. The domain of ethics is applied in various areas of life and it involves determining wrong and right acts and behaviors. At the moment, various philosophers have collaborated to divide ethics in such a way that it now has three branches.

These branches include applied ethics and metaethics along with normative ethics. With this division, it has become easier for scholars and students to understand ethics. Generally, ethics is concerned with what is wrong or right but it also provides answers to questions which are about universal truth in the form of metaethics. Ethics which justifies what is wrong and what is right is normative ethics. Meanwhile, applied ethics evaluates where large issues like environmental issues and war are right or not (Putnam, 2014).
