Ethics is a system of moral principles. They affect how people make decisions and lead their lives. Ethics
is concerned with what is good for individuals and society and is also described as moral philosophy.
Ethics covers the following concerns: good life (end), rights and responsibilities (freedom), right and
wrong (action), and good and bad (decisions).
Points to ponder on Ethics:
1.Ethics provides good tools for thinking about moral issues.
People argue that if a person realizes that it would be morally good to do something
then it would be irrational for that person not to do it. But human beings often behave
irrationally - they follow their instinct even when their thought suggests a different
course of action.
2.Ethics provides a moral map.
Most moral issues appeal to emotion in dealing with moral concerns. However, there
Ethical principles that enable those involved to take a cooler view of moral problems.
3.Ethics can pinpoint a disagreement.
Using the framework of ethics, two people who are arguing a moral issue can often
find that what they disagree about is just one particular part of the issue, and that they
broadly agree on everything else.
4.Ethics does not give right answers.
Ethics does not always show the right answer to moral problems. Many people seek
for a single right answer to ethical questions. They find moral ambiguity hard to live
with because they genuinely want to do the right thing, and even if they cannot work
out what that right thing is, they like the idea that somewhere and somehow there is
one right answer.
