Well “ethics” is a subjective idea. Ethics relates to the code of behavior which is the social norm or which is commanded by religion. Without an anchor everyones ethics will vary. Teaching someone not to cheat(ethical in most societies) or anything ethical keeps a society stable. However,this of course is not the idea(making up what one thinks is ethical) of the Torah because we all know that there is only one code of ethics and that comes from the Torah.
