Ethics(or morals) are rules for

distinguishing between right and wrong

Golden Rule (“Do unto others as you

would have them do unto you”)

Ethics- “norms for conduct” that

distinguish between acceptable and

unacceptable behaviour

Most people learn it at home, school or social setting

Moral development occurs throughout the life

Ethical norms are so ubiquitous that one might be tempted to regard them as simple commonsense

On the other hand, if morality were nothing more

than commonsense, then why are there so many ethical disputes and issues in our society?

All people recognize some common

ethical norms

But different individuals interpret, apply

and balance these norms in different

ways

In light of their own values and life

experiences

Another way of defining ethics focuses

on the disciple of study standards of

conduct, such as philosophy, theology,

law, psychology , sociology or computer

science.

Example: a medical ethicist is someone

who studies ethical standards in

medicine

One may also define ethics as a method, procedure, or perspective for deciding how to act and for analyzing complex problems and issues

For instance, in considering a complex issue like

global warming, one may take an economic, ecological, political or ethical perspective on the problem.

While economist might examine the cost and

benefits of various policies related to global warming, an environmental ethicist should examine the ethical values and principles at stake

Ethical norms also serve the aims or goals of research and apply to people who conduct scientific research or other scholar or creative activities.

There is even a specialized discipline,

research ethics, which studies these norms
