Personally I don't use the term morals too much as it is too broad and diverse. I guess ethical behaviour goes more with what I believe is correct and productive.

so, i looked both of these words up, because i kind of consider them the same thing, or very similar.. ETHICS: plural noun 1 [usu. treated as pl. ] moral principles that govern a person's or group's behavior • the moral correctness of specified conduct MORAL: concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character • concerned with or adhering to the code of interpersonal behavior that is considered right or acceptable in a particular society holding or manifesting high principles for proper conduct • derived from or based on ethical principles or a sense of these ... but if i had to chose i would say ethics, because ethics feels like a word that can just apply to someone's own feelings and beliefs, whereas morals seem like something a whole group of people adhere to.

I don't really believe in a universal right and wrong. I follow my own laws and don't follow anybody else's, unwritten or not.
