Morality and Ethics
Two distinct entities, yet they overlap at times.

Question: how can you tell if you are making an ethical decision or a moral one?

Is what you are doing being done for the sake of others - that is, are you helping feed the homeless mother of six because 'someone has to do it' or because it's right? And if it's both - which takes priority when it comes to why?

1. Measure each choice, then replicate the results.

2. Very funny.
And yes, we are dealing with the qualitative rather than the quantitative.

Support for naturalistic explanations does not preclude one from doing qualitative research.
