Ethical And Ethical Aspects Of Ethics

The field of ethics (or moral philosophy) involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas:

Since my journey here at Bryant began in September, I have changed so much. Coming here, I expected certain things such as my study habits, daily routine and friend group to be altered. One change I was not anticipating making was my approach to ethics. Over the course of the past fifteen weeks, my knowledge of ethics as well as my approach to ethics has changed. I have become more knowledgeable about the different approaches to ethics and have gained insight as to where I stand in my approach to ethics.

Ethics involves identifying and being able to understand the concepts of right and wrong and then decide on what the response should be to an ethical dilemma. By using philosophical approaches people are able to recognize the situation and then hopefully make informed decisions. While making decisions in an ethical dilemma, the ability to evaluate the decision within cognitive moral development, locus of control, moral disengagement and Machiavellianism will only help the process. This paper will further motivate the discussion of ethics and the process of making informed ethical decisions.

Many of us want to be the best version of ourselves and we strive to achieve this by doing what we believe is right. However, doing the right thing is much harder than what we think. When faced with difficult situations in life, we often find ourselves at war between choosing what we believe is right versus what the society think we should do. We all have different life perspectives, hence what’s right for us may not be right for others. When dealing with ethical dilemma, it’s important to weigh the good and the bad in order to be effective in decision-making. It’s also important to see things from other peoples’ point of view to avoid making assumptions and using unbiased judgment. These things are not easy to do, but they’re the best approach to

Ethics is one of the most important considerations when making a decision about end of life. It is also where the most controversy lies as arguments, using ethical theories, can be made for and against laws on end of life. “Ethics has at least two primary functions: to guide our actions, and to provide justification for the guidance given” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p. 42). A duty-oriented ethicist would be against euthanasia and physician assisted death. They believe “we can’t stop all pain; what is crucial is that we act with dignity and respect in the face of suffering” (Edge & Groves, 2006, p.40). “Kant’s view is a person committing suicide takes the easy way out, where reason would dictate he or she face their problems” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p.38). Virtue ethicists would also be against euthanasia and physician assisted death. Virtue ethicists hold “it is not only important to do the right thing but equally to have the right disposition, motivation, and traits for being good and doing right” (Edge & Groves, 2006, p.43). As a believer in God, a virtue ethicist would hold suicide as an unreasonable option. They would believe God to be the “sole arbiter of life and death” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p.42) and therefore, the right thing to do would be for God to end their life as he sees fit.

The question about ethicality has always been ambiguous. How to decide whether a human being act ethically correct? The Nature and Human Values book edited by Sarah Jayne Hitt and Courtney Holles explains three philosophical theories regarding the ethics. The theories gives a general idea on how philosopher approach this matter to decide what kind of act is considered ethical and how to determine it. Even though the theories contradict each other in some aspect, it helps us to understand the general idea on what is considered as an “ethically correct” act.

A code of ethics, also called a code of conduct or ethical code, sets out the company 's values, ethics, objective and responsibilities. A well-written code of ethics should also give guidance to employees on how to deal with certain ethical situations.

Here are the below Ethical code I want to build for my global corporation.

Throughout my life I have learned what’s right and wrong and how to treat people. I learned that families that were similar had different ethics. It wasn’t until I joined the military that I actually associated my actions and decisions to being ethical or unethical. I believe that society makes the right decisions on things, even when the decision doesn’t benefit them. Through experience, I learned that this is not always the case. I saw people act selfish and even identified my own flaws when faced with ethical situations. These experiences have shown me that ethics training is important and necessary.

When asked about ethics, some people may say, they are personal feelings that tell me what is right from wrong. One might also say, my ethics are in line with my moral values. The statements seem to contradict each other. This leaves us wondering, what are morals, and what are ethics. Which statement is correct? Are either of the statement correct? Are your ethics in line with moral values, or does it have to do with your feelings of right and wrong? There seems to be a bit of confusion about the two, so we must now look into what exactly, morals and ethics are.

Ethics is a key moral philosophy that helps us determine what is right and wrong. This paper will talk about my views on ethics. I will share personal examples of ethical situations that I have been in. I will also share where my ethical views originated from and why ethics is important to me. Next, I will discuss how ethics will affect my career and why it will be important in it. Lastly, I will talk about the importance of ethics in the global world.

I would summarize the term ethics by saying that it is an absolute standard by which people live by. Ethics is this mentality or this inside voice that tells us what we should do versus what we actually do. Dr. Eckman states in “Christian Ethics” that the term ethics refers to a set of standards around which we organize our lives and from which we define our duties and obligations. Ethics is something we ought to do. In America we mix up the terms ethics and morality. Morality is what we actually do, and already do. In Matthew 22:33-40, it speaks about how as believers we should mirror those greatest commandments. We should love God with everything we have and love others.

1. What is ethics? How are ethical values formed? Can ethics be taught or changed? Explain why ethics are important to MIS. How do ethics relate to laws and to codes of conduct? What are Kohlberg’s Six Stages of Moral Development and how does that relate to ethics in MIS?

Ethics is the science of morals, rules of conduct. Ethics examine human conduct and lays down rules of duty and ideal conduct, dealing with the value of life. Ethics concentrates on principle affecting man’s conduct so as to determine the standard of right and wrong.

In contemporary society, the ethical phenomenon is very pertinent whether in social or in academic life. According to Wellington (2000) claims that morals and ethics are bound to each other but, the two aspects are slightly different. Ethics means a system of moral principles which play the role as guide or model that conduct by an individual or group. In line with the university of Waikato, conducting any research in any circumstances which involve human it is vital to follow an ethical guidelines and the procedure (2009, p.1). Moreover, Cohen, L., Manion, L., and Morrison, K. (2011) point out that within academic research we have our own code of ethics to be followed, and it is essential that all research must meet with approval from an ethics committee prior to commencing. Therefore, it means if conducting research without ethical approval is not accurate and may erodes public and professional credibility of individuals including the universities. To do this a brief outline of the article chosen of the study will be explained considering the participant, objective or questions, methods and results. Then I will highlight any ethical dilemmas or issue that reveal on the article. Finally, a reflective statement based on my own comprehension in relation to the study and in educational research will be provided.

Ethics or moral philosophy is the branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct.
