Question: Read the following excerpt. What is wrong with the in-text citation?
“To establish some common ground, definitions of ethics and morality are offered. Ethics is defined as theories or concepts about what guides positive or negative behavior and defines what is good and bad–but this type of morality. A descriptive definition of ethics asks what ‘ought’ to be right, while a normative definition asks what behaviors are right or good. Morality is a rule against usages to them. It is the effort to guide one’s conduct by reason–while giving equal weight to the interests of each individual who is affected by that conduct (Rachels, The Elements of Moral Philosophy, 1999).”
