Dear Kiran Grover,

Ethics as a science refers to a philosophical discipline that studies the practical behavior of people, norms that ensure the condition for the cohesion of society, the overcoming of zoological individualism and aggressiveness. A more detailed analysis of this phenomenon is offered by Professor A.V. Razin, who marks the duality of the object of ethical knowledge. On the one hand, this is the social reality that is subjected to observation and study to formulate the provisions of the most theoretical ethics. In this perspective, the object of ethical knowledge is really existing mores, people's behavior. On the other hand, as the object of the impact of ethical knowledge is the person himself, his moral education, the development of his positive moral qualities. In this aspect, ethical knowledge is connected with the educational function, one way or another represented in the culture of each society.

The subject of ethics in the most general form is the moral choice of a person, all the means by which a person uses when making it. The means of moral choice are:

Individual qualities are subjective achievement of each individual personality, however they do not exist without support from the public consciousness, i.e. They themselves develop under the influence of certain moral ideas, turn out to be aimed at realizing these ideas. In this sense, they are impossible without rational ideas about the proper moral behavior of a person, which already undoubtedly constitutes the subject of theoretical ethics.

The system of social norms in society also refers to the object of the impact of ethics as a science. The content of social norms is constantly refined, receives a more detailed verbal formulation through the work of ethical thought, if it is a matter of moral norms. It is on the basis of ethical knowledge that the development of various ethical codes, for example, codes of professional ethics, including professional ethics of state and municipal service.

- objective public canonized conditions for making a choice, which include generally accepted moral standards;

- personal resources for the commission of moral choice, consisting in the emotional-volitional qualities of the individual.

yes

No, both are personal but collectively becomes social,  

Also, ethics resulted from values 

ethics can be very personal, and can actually be at odds with societal norms, examples - vegetarianism, veganism, anti - animal testing. 

Dear Kiran

The two terms have similarities and differences and can be used in a personal fashion or societal fashion.

The ethics of a society are the accepted mode of what is acceptable or unacceptable that governs society members while values are the expected behavioral patterns and attitudes that every member of the society is expected to cultivate and abide with.

However, both values and ethics are guiding principles that earmark the general attitudes of societal members. Values and ethics can be personal or societal. For instance, the ethics and moral values accepted by a society usually groom its members. Thus, the societal values and ethics are thus ingrained in the persona of members. As such, it becomes personal for individuals and collectively as a people.

However, a person can hold his own values that are quite different from those held by the Society s/he received moral training in his/her formative years. After acculturation or contact with other cultures and religion as well as the change of environment, the personal values and ethics of an individual can be different from his/her societal values.

An interesting question Grover with so much to ponder about.

Matching the meaning of individual rights and the public good implies balancing a value to one and the ethics of many. 

Ethics is essentially self-discipline and presupposes the existence of a motivation which encourages the free, autonomous and internal control of its behavior and actions.

It also presupposes the existence of human freedom, which allows the individual to choose a given behavior according to the imperatives emanating from his consciousness

Every person has certain set values and a certain code of ethics which are very much valued. Some people who do not know the exact difference between ‘values’ and ‘ethics’ often use the two words interchangeably. Though these two are different, these two together form the basis for making decisions.

What are values? They are the basic beliefs that an individual thinks to be true. Every individual has a set of values through which he looks at all things and also at the world. It can be said that most of the people will never deviate from their values. The values can be said to be the guiding principles in one’s life. ‘Value’ can be defined as a bridge by which an individual makes a decision regarding good and bad, right or wrong, and most important or less important.

Ethics is guidelines or rules that are set for a society or an organization rather than for an individual. Ethics can be defined as a set of rules formulated by a country or a company or some institutions. Ethics is mainly based on moral values. Ethics is not that it is set for any particular society, but it is mainly based on virtues, rights, and obligations. For example, the obligation to refrain from crimes, killings, and rape is an ethical aspect. Ethics has also been built on loyalty, honesty, and compassion.

Values are very much personal while ethics is very much societal. One can also see that values and ethics sometimes can be in conflict. Even if one has certain values, he will not be able to entertain certain decisions based on the ethical codes. Though abortion is considered to be legal, most people do not approve of it morally.

Summary:

1. Values are the basic beliefs that an individual thinks to be true. Every individual has a set of values through which he looks at all things and also at the world.

2. Ethics is guidelines or rules that are set for a society or an organization rather than for an individual.

3. Values can be said to be the guiding principles in one’s life. ‘Value’ can be defined as a bridge by which an individual makes a decision regarding good and bad, right or wrong, and most important or less important.

4. Ethics can be defined as a set of rules formulated by a country or a company or some institutions. Ethics is mainly based on the moral values.

Hi dear 

Ethics and Values together lay the foundation for sustainability. While they are sometimes used synonymously, they are different, where ethics are the set of rules that governs the behaviour of a person, established by a group or culture. Values refer to the beliefs for which a person has an enduring preference. Read the following article to know the important differences between ethics and values.

Liqaa Habeb Madam,

Thanks for sharing your views& give link related to values & ethics.

Ethics and values are synonimous.

There are different sets of ethical principles.  Each set of ethical principles can be analyzed in terms of subsets of values.  Values can be (1) personal, (2) societal, or (3) shared personal and societal.

Ethics can also be different for different people. Some people believe in co-existence, some believe in truths, and some in morality etc. Religions also affect ethical thinking of a society. That is my perception.

Prabhat Ranjan Sir,

Thanks for your opinion.

Values are nothing but the norms of individuals which are not the same & also the common for the human beings .For individuals values become more important as it affect their contribution,their standing & such other practices for social environment as for individuals remains its personal say for his action .

Ethics is a moral code & conduct the behavior & its practices for contributory effects for the society .Society moral codes & conduct depend on the individuals who are playing very important part for creating the sound ,social environment making happy & also caring out their action also in the peaceful environment .

This is my personal opinion 

Thank you for sharing the question. I consider that ''values are very much personal while ethics is very much societal''. After a search, I came across an interesting article, regarding the question, from which I quote: ''Both ethics and values act as guidelines for our behavior.  Both of these concepts have a major influence on our personality, attitudes as well as our perceptions. Values are standards of behavior or principles that vary according to different people. Ethics are forms of conduct or moral principles which vary according to specific group or field.''

Ethics is essentially self-discipline and presupposes the existence of a motivation which encourages the free, autonomous and internal control of its behavior and actions.

It also presupposes the existence of human freedom, which allows the individual to choose a given behavior according to the imperatives of his conscience.

"Key Differences Between Ethics and Values

The fundamental differences between ethics and value are described in the given below points:

1.  Ethics refers to the guidelines for conduct, that address question about morality. Value is defined as the principles and ideals, which helps them in making the judgement of what is more important.

2.  Ethics is a system of moral principles. In contrast to values, which is the stimuli of our thinking.

3.  Values strongly influence the emotional state of mind. Therefore it acts as a motivator. On the other hand, ethics compels to follow a particular course of action.

4.  Ethics are consistent, whereas values are different for different persons, i.e. what is important for one person, may not be important for another person.

5.  Values tell us what we want to do or achieve in our life, whereas ethics helps us in deciding what is morally correct or incorrect, in the given situation.

6.  Ethics determines, to what extent our options are right or wrong. As opposed to values, which defines our priorities for life.

Ethics:

By the term ‘ethics’ we mean a branch of moral philosophy – a sense of rightness or wrongness of actions, motives and the results of these actions. In short, it is a discipline that identifies good or evil, just or unjust, fair or unfair practices, about moral duty. It is well-based standards that a person should do, concerning rights, obligations, fairness, benefits to society and so on. The standard puts a reasonable obligation to stop crime like stealing, assault, rape, murder, fraud and so on.

Values:

Values refer to the important and enduring beliefs or principles, based on which an individual makes judgements in life. It is at the centre of our lives which act as a standard of behaviour. They severely affect the emotional state of mind of an individual. They can be personal values, cultural values or corporate values.

Values are forces that cause an individual to behave in a particular manner. It sets our priorities in life, i.e. what we consider in the first place. It is a reason behind the choices we make. It reflects what is more important for us. So, if we are true to our values and make our choices accordingly, then the way we live to express our core values. Moreover, if you understand an individual’s values, you can easily identify what is important for them.

The fundamental differences between ethics and value are described as:

---Ethics refers to the guidelines for conduct, that address question about morality. Value is defined as the principles and ideals, which helps them in making the judgement of what is more important.

---Ethics is a system of moral principles. In contrast to values, which is the stimuli of our thinking.

---Values strongly influence the emotional state of mind. Therefore it acts as a motivator. On the other hand, ethics compels to follow a particular course of action.

---Ethics are consistent, whereas values are different for different persons, i.e. what is important for one person, may not be important for another person.

---Values tell us what we want to do or achieve in our life, whereas ethics helps us in deciding what is morally correct or incorrect, in the given situation.

 Subhash C. Kundu Sir,

Thanks for sharing your views related to values & ethics.& give link also

Ethical values or ethics play much broader role therefore these are important for society and the nation, rather mankind. Personal values actually constitute ethics and hence they can not be separated. But Yes, if a person is valued observing integrity, honesty...as his/her personal values. He/She is directly contributing towards nation or society or mankind (humanity). 

This is dependent on the cultural level of the family, social cohesion and religion, so, that the person becomes a property of those values and lives his full life  either to achieve them or to maintain them, especially when the society is shaken. Honesty, openness and dedication to work..while social ethic are a set of things determined by the community or the state or the clan or the village and sometimes find them imposed on some example the marriage of a cousin to the daughter of the uncle exclusively and not to a stranger and this is common in some Islamic countries

Thank for this benefit question, my opinion it is depending on the person, society, country, and the person from his/ her birth as a plant when found a good ground it will be grow correctly, when found a bad ground it will be grow badly. 

That statement is true. Value judgement is governed by personal values based on a person's attitude, character, as well as religious, and socioeconomic status incorporating education, income and occupation. On the other hand, ethics are standards or rules external to an individual which are expected to guide his or her behaviour. They are, however, related to societal values

values and ethics are both societal as well as personal things ... . . But most important issues the behaviour of people... Sometimes so-called educated people behave like hooligans.. That is not acceptable... These people mostly have no ethical sense or values.

Sayan Bhattacharyya Sir,

Thanks for your opinion.

Thank you for sharing the question, In principle, I agree with the saying

But logic says that they are both individual and collective at the same time

Depending on the situation in which the holder of values or ethic is passes

Dear

I believe that human values are the principles that guide him to what is acceptable and what is unacceptable as an individual. The ethical side expresses the common principles among the members of the group or society about what is acceptable or unacceptable. We may abide by some moral principles of the community even though they may contradict our own principles as individuals.

Values play a binding behavior on people

understanding value held by people especially in executing rural projects.

most of the time the failure of projects is just because of value systems mis understanding

many problems can be solved by knowing values held by people.

In the statement: "Values are very much personal while ethics is very much societal ?", while values are indeed personal, it is those values which form our society's morals, which in turn form the ethics we live by, especially when considering bioethics. Even though in ethics, there should be certain absolutes, like valuing life, there are variables, like abortion, which are very much determined by the collective individual values of those making up a society. There is far more relativism than absolutes, which is a philosophy held by many.

Dear Kiran,

I believe the terms "values" and "ethics" are very general terms, both of which cry out for further definition. The term "value" is interchangeable in concepts such as "one's personal values" (one's personal ethics). I do not believe there is a concept of a "value-less ethics', although the range of what is considered to be "of value" in tremendously long. Thus, when one hears the terms "values" and "ethics: one may heighten one's ears waiting to heat what follows because if one explores a broad use of the terms one is often shock ed hear precisely what is considered to be prized or valued by individuals making what they as individuals or groups consider as "morally defensible claims".
