Meta-ethics is the branch of ethics that seeks to understand the nature of ethical properties, statements, attitudes, and judgments. Meta-ethics is one of the three branches of ethics generally studied by philosophers, the others being normative ethics and applied ethics.
There are three kinds of meta-ethics problems, or three general questions:
1) What is the meaning of moral terms or judgments? (moral semantics)
2) What is the nature of moral judgments? (moral ontology)
3) How may moral judgments be supported or defended? (moral epistemology) A question of the first type might be, "What do the words 'good', 'bad', 'right' and 'wrong' mean?" The second category includes questions of whether moral judgments are universal or relative, of one kind or many kinds, etc. Questions of the third kind ask, for example, how we can know if something is right or wrong, if at all.

Counterpart to the universally known and widely despised gunner .
Within the students kingdom, phylum medical students , and species gunner there is the subspecies known as the Ethical Gunner. This person has many of the typical behaviors of the gunner such as being an over achiever , constantly going balls to the walls and to some degree being a know it all .
However, the Ethical Gunner is open to helping out their lower achieving classmates in a non- derogatory ways, and generally be helpful . This is often due to them being raised in team centric environments such as high school sports or the military where being a self-centered dick is met with harsh and overwhelming criticism. Because of this, they would be just as happy getting an assist as scoring a point when playing basketball.
Key differences from the gunner include they do not try to fuck over anyone within ear shot and lack a personality disorder

Student 1: "I just got done reviewing the entire semester with Olivia, she is such a fucking gunner . She knows everything in class, published three papers, and volunteers 80 hours a week; when does she sleep?"
Student 2: "Soooo if she's also fitting in time to help you for free and has tons of other shit to do, you should probably qualify that with ethical gunner "

A mode of ethics advocating the most irrational means of action possible to allow the inherent chaos of human action agency.
Rudy decided to skip the board meeting in order to shoot pool with a group of total strangers. His reasoning? Absurd ethics.

Facebook Ethics is a major branch of philosophy, encompassing right conduct and good life over the electronic medium Facebook. The guiding principle of Facebook ethics is that of exercising sound judgement and morality when establishing relationships, networking, or simply keeping in touch with old friends.
Examples of breaching Facebook ethics include:
- Posting inappropriate pictures of either yourself or friends engaged in raucous behavior, binge drinking, or doing illegal drugs.
- Posting nasty comments about ex boyfriends new girlfriends at an attempt to invoke jealousy, cause pain, insult the other party
- Incessantly posting on people's walls thereby shielding other people's comments and creating a monopoly on said person's wall
- Discussing insensitive topics that could be read by other people- examples include religion, politics, and racism/sexism
- Tagging friends in pictures that are less than flattering.
