Line 2:

'''Ethical codes''' are specialized and specific codes of [[ethics]].

Such codes exist in most [[profession]]s and some [[organization]]s to guide interactions between specialists with advanced knowledge, e.g., [[physician|doctors]], [[lawyer]]s, [[engineer]]s, [[stonemason]]s, and the general public. They are often not part of any more general theory of [[ethics]] but accepted as pragmatic necessities.

Ethical codes are distinct from [[moral code]]s that apply to the education and religion of a whole society.
