As I said in another thread, there is no agreement on what the terms mean. I use 'morality' to mean the (possibly local or individual) concensus opinion of correct and incorrect actions, and 'ethics' for absolutes which any rational observer will agree (if you waste resources, you won't have them later when needed; unnecessary killing (and hurting) of others is bad, etc.). But some people reverse the definitions, or don't see any difference, or something different from any of those.
The only way to communicate on that subject is to do a Humpty Dumpty and define the terms as you use them, and then hope that either everyone will agree for the length of the discussion or that they will at least remember how you use them.
