Ethics constitutes the time and place of a critical reflection on the morality of our individual and collective actions. Recent anthropology suggests an analysis of ethics as a process of construction and questioning of norms throughout a personal and social moral career. Ethics is therefore the place of freedom, of arbitration and of the weighing of moral obligations.
