How do we develop our ethics? What are the primary sources for us to develop our ethical position?

We develop our sense of ethics and moral standards over time and observance.   From the time of birth, throughout life, we observe others in effort to determine right from wrong, wrong to right.   Beginning influences perhaps includes parents, siblings, close relatives.   As we age though those influences can also include social, religious beliefs, cultural, laws, to name only a few.   However, the developmental stage is never ending it only continues, hopefully, to grow onto a higher level of morality.
