**Jackson:** Hey Miles, I was thinking about something on my drive over here today. This driver cut me off, and I had this moment where I was like, "That was wrong, that was unfair"—but then I started wondering: how do we even know what's right and wrong? Is it just feelings, or is there something deeper to it?
**Miles:** Oh, that's such a fascinating question, Jackson. You know, ethics is really about exactly that—how we determine right from wrong. It's interesting how we all have these moral intuitions, these gut feelings about fairness and justice, but they can differ so much from person to person and culture to culture.
**Jackson:** Right, exactly! And that's what confuses me. If I think something is wrong but someone else thinks it's perfectly fine, how do we decide who's correct? Is there even a "correct" answer?
**Miles:** That's the million-dollar question! Ethics has been debated by philosophers for thousands of years, and there are actually several major frameworks people use to make these judgments. Let's explore how these different ethical approaches might help us navigate these moral dilemmas we face every day.
