Ethics is traditionally divided into three major kinds: Normative Ethics (theories of right action: utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics), Meta-ethics (analysis of moral language, objectivity, and facts), and Applied Ethics (application to specific issues like bioethics, environmental ethics). Additionally, descriptive ethics studies what people believe to be moral, distinct from prescribing what is moral.
