What is the definition of the terms objective, subjective, relative, morality, and ethics, and what is an example of each?

Objective
and subjective are two opposites meaning concrete or based in facts and fluid or changing. Facts
are objective and unchanging, like the law of gravity, while opinions are subjective, like taste
in food. These things change and are not definitive or set in stone.

Relative
is related to subjective. Things that are relative shift based on the situation. Speed is
relative between two moving objects, while a car may be traveling 30 mph, it may only be
traveling 5 mph relative to another vehicle next to it.

Ethics and morality
are the final two concepts. Ethics is a code of behavior that is meant to determine right and
wrong and the best way to treat others. Morality is the act of being moral or following ethics.
Morality is more of a personal system of belief.
