I appreciate your approach of creating attractive and simplified videos to introduce more people to ethics (and use them myself for teaching purposes). To say that "some" philosophers don't use the term "ethics" and "morality" interchangeably seems a vast and misleading over-simplification, though: As far as my knowledge goes, this is mainly the case for the English language. In French and German philosophy, for example, the distinction is the rule rather than the exception (influences from "anglification" of our language can be felt here, too).

Personally I think, this distinction is not only sensible but important. Especially in the light of the digital revolution, where I find it often helpful to check whether we're "just" following a rule (--> morality) or (re-)consider rules in the light of new technologies, social change etc.

This is such a well put together video. Can you show me how to make videos like this?

Accounting: Your supervisor enters your office and asks you for a check for $150.00 for expenses he tells you
he incurred entertaining a client last night. He submits receipts from a restaurant and lounge. At lunch your
supervisor’s girlfriend stops by to pick him up for lunch and you overhear her telling the receptionist what a great
time she had at dinner and dancing with your supervisor the night before. What do you do?

Common ethics and uncommon ethics.

Perception is ethical as right. Then there will be personal ethics and social ethics. Personal ethics shows rebellion and rebellious nature at family level.
