Good
What ethics seeks
Good is one of the broadest positive terms in English, opposing bad across nearly every domain.
Something good meets or exceeds expectations: good food, good weather, a good idea.
Good describes moral virtue (a good person), skill (good at math), benefit (good for you), and validity (a good reason).
It functions as a noun for what is right or beneficial: the common good, for the good of the team.
Goods are merchandise or possessions.
As an adverb, good competes with well in casual speech: She did good on the test.
To make good is to fulfill a promise or compensate for harm.
Good and ready means completely ready.
In parting, good appears in goodbye, good night, and good luck.
