Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article examines ethics in regard to the "self," and
the effect of ethics on the welfare and moral state of the community. It is suggested that
certain elements of "self" (personality, character, honesty, desire, etc.) are sources for
moral behavior, and that social customary law forms the basis for duty.
