Abstract
One of the main topics in the discussion of biology in the 21st century is human development, which has many advantages such as cognitive development and aesthetics. However, one of the important approaches in this field is "strengthening ethics". A society with a majority of moral people is considered a historical dream for humanity. Individuals differ from each other in terms of moral reasoning, but the process involved in these differences in the brain is somewhat known; In other words, the diversity of people in understanding moral values may be related to regional changes in brain structure. In this review article, all articles published in the last ten years in the field of ethics were examined. This search was done through Google Scholar, Scopus and PubMed scientific databases and the necessary information was extracted. Ethics is integrated at the level of performance, not at the cognitive level, which means that there is no "moral core" and no known and definite area or structure that can show ethics or even ideation and planning of ethical behavior in an individual. , there is no moral information is processed in different areas of the brain such as temporal, frontal and frontal, but ethics can be considered as a function of maximum integration with emotions, social cognition and other sensitivities, which is done by using the organization Cognitive structures depict a common world of human relations and are used in social life.
