honestly, the answer's neither just by definition more than anything else. ethics aren't morals. you can be immoral and ethical, or moral and unethical. they're closer in line to policies than anything else, and in many third world countries those are the policies because the merchants will judge their prices not just for the value they have, but the value they have to you. you'll find this in the US as well but to much lesser extents (however if there's a black out do note that the cab fare will spike like crazy). likewise, private universities have it somewhere in their code of ethics to be able to allow those with lower income in. circumstances may exist for it, but in both situations the policies will match.
though i'm not sure muffin was going for that distinction, or if he was focusing it more towards a right and wrong deal. personally i don't find either wrong either, but hey.
