Honesty and rigor...

Honourable Ms Ahmad

Kowledge is based on 2 ways. One is homo sapiens - behind GOD - is at the top of all living creatures. By head we can see,hear,smell and  taste together with feeling via our skin around the body. And in this world philosophy, religion and ethic is our live - and very important -  it's OUR world. Enlightment brought us another way to see the surrounding and that tells us universe from big bang on the one end  and X-bosom ad the other made us possible e.g. to work easier with a wheel on the handcart and come faster by aeroplane from Paris to Singapore. This natural science must be seen also as knowledge. Only problem are we ourselfs who cannot understand why this Yin/Yang......All the Best Your Hainz

Your Honourable Mr Hainz,

I do appreciate your extensive ethics examples. Indeed the yin / yang that you presented has some absence in the cogwheel of life.

Nevertheless, thank you for your kind input and I do love Paris, Singapore and the aeroplane ride too.

Best regards - Mariam

It is a system of moral rules and principles, set of standards, or moral values held by an individual or a group for the rightness and wrongness of certain actions, motives and their consequences.

I believe that ethics, a system of moral principles, is important not only in academic and clinical sectors but also in all aspects of human life. Our concepts of ethics are derived from religions, philosophies and cultures, and every person might have her or his own ethics. To me, ethics comes from my own seriousness and consideration of the benefit of all human beings, helping decide my behavior in almost all circumstances.

Ethics is a system of rules that systematize, define and shape the concept of right and wrong. Please , read the following link.

Dear Syamsul,

Yes, honesty and rigour are part and parcel of ethics.

Thank you for your kind input.

Mariam

Dear Zahir,

Ethics are system of guided rules and regulations. Some of them are handbooked while others are unspoken. The consequences lie in the right and wrongs of our own behaviour. And such repercussions do dent our designation if they went awry.

Appreciate your kind feedback, Sir.

Best regards.

Mariam

Dear Tatsuo,

Ethics evolved from many facets of our lives. They are universal whether in academic or clinical settings. Conforming to such makes a man honourable and you are one such man, Tatsuo, Sir.

Thank you for your kind feedback.

Best regards.

Mariam

Dear Arwa,

I agree with you that ethics are definitive in right from wrongs. It is guided too by our self-concept to either follow or break free from it. To follow is the mark of a professional and honourable person and to break away means to tarnish oneself greatly. It is a choice one has to make especially when society is involved.

Thank you for your kind feedback.

Best regards.

Mariam Madam,

Ethics is a system of moral principles. They affect how people make decisions and lead their lives. Ethic is a branch of philosophy that used   to  study  ideal  human  behavior  and  ideal  ways  of  being.  As a philosophical discipline of study, ethics is a systematic approach to under-standing, analyzing, and distinguishing matters of right and wrong, good and bad and admirable and deplorable as they relate to the well-being of and the relation-ships among sentient beings. Feelings and emotions are a normal part of everyday life and can play a legitimate role in doing ethics. Evaluations generated through the practice of ethics require a balance of emotion and reason. Throughout history, people, based on their culture, have engaged in actions that they believed were justifiable only to have the light of reason later show otherwise.

Dear Kiran,

Thank you for your kind and informative feedback.

Ethics is basically a guided moral compass. It is how we view things and how we are guided into conforming them. It is a system that the society adopts by their own society "handbook" as to how to deal with the rights and wrongs of things. Indeed feeling and emotion play huge part in dealing with ethics.Also, ethnic approach is another consideration because different ethnic has different embedded ethics. That is the reason why sometimes it is justifiable in one but repugnant to another.

Best regards.

Mariam

Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. At its simplest, 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 dilemmas:

how to live a good life. our rights and responsibilities. the language of right and wrong

moral decisions - what is good and bad?

Our concepts of ethics have been derived from religions, philosophies and cultures. They infuse debates on topics like abortion, human rights and professional conduct.

Ethics are the set of moral principles that guide a person's behavior. These morals are shaped by social norms, cultural practices, and religious influences. Ethics reflect beliefs about what is right, what is wrong, what is just, what is unjust, what is good, and what is bad in terms of human behavior. They serve as a compass to direct how people should behave toward each other, understand and fulfill their obligations to society, and live their lives.

Hi dear

Ethics or moral philosophy as stated by Wikipedia is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term ethics derives from the Ancient Greek word ἠθικός ethikos, which is derived from the word ἦθος ethos (habit, "custom"). The branch of philosophy axiology comprises the sub-branches of ethics and aesthetics, each concerned with values.

As a branch of philosophy, ethics investigates the questions "What is the best way for people to live?" and "What actions are right or wrong in particular circumstances?" In practice, ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. As a field of intellectual enquiry, moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory.

Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure perfection & personality.

Ethics: the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation

"Ethics has to do with what my feelings tell me is right or wrong."

"Ethics has to do with my religious beliefs."

"Being ethical is doing what the law requires."

"Ethics consists of the standards of behavior our society accepts."

Dear Ahmed,

Ethics is also a social contract between an individual with/against the society. The dilemma, the conformity, the commonality all juggle into one word - ethics.

It is the branch of moral philosophy when it involves human dilemma and social psychology when it includes how human think, influence and relate to one another.

It is a subject that involve many human touchpoints as you mentioned - abortion, human rights and professional conducts.

Thank you for your insightul feedback.

Best regards.

Thank you for your interesting reply.

Best regards.

Mariam

Dear Kiran,

Thank you for your interesting wisdom quote.

Ethics is a form of self-enlightenment if conducted correctly. Again - by whose standards? It is an individual, society or professional set standards that guide towards such good personality and perfection.

Best regards.

Mariam

Dear Aamal,

True indeed. It is the discipline, moral duty and obligation.

What are ethics?

Ethics are moral yardstick to guide what we should do or what we shouldn't according to different moral philosophies a person is subscribing e.g. Utilitarianism, Kantianism, Natural Rights, Religious Ethics etc. 

Ethics,decency and morality are the real soldiers.

Dear Ping Fung,

Thank you for your enlightening feedback

Human has the right to choose their ethical values. It could be Utilitarianisms, Kantisms or even Universalism. The bottom line of ethics is when a set moral guidelines is upheld.

Best regards.

Mariam

Dear Kiran,

Nice quotations there.

Unfortunately it is rarely adopted in hospital settings between doctor to doctor and doctor to patient. I wish such medical ethics could  be adopted at any time, if not most.

Thank you for your kind feedback.

Best regards.

Mariam

In moral issues the choice is between right and wrong but in ethics the choice is between two rights.

Dear Kiran.

Thank you for your kind feedback.

While moral issues involve the right-wrong choices, ethics alone is the choice between two rights and nil wrong depending on whose theory(ies) you adopt.

Best regards.

Mariam

Dear Tariq,

Thank you for your kind feedback.

It is an honourable quality to "The Golden Rule" of applying ethics of reciprocity that makes us feel great while uplifting our significant others too.

It is the practice of  applying what you preach - a.k.a. "Do unto others what you want others to do unto you" - a prominent biblical approach.

Best regards.

Mariam

Dear Ahmed,

I agree with you that ethics is the societal guided norms. One that dictate the virtue of being righteous, allowing social conformity and upholding moral justice.

Thank you for the kind feedback.

Best regards.

Mariam

Ethics are codes of conduct that decide what is wrong and what is right in a particular circumstance. These are also known as morals and are a result of evolution of mankind

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

Dear Kiran,

Indeed ethics are code of conduct in all occasions alias moral.

They are set rules for society or organization for individuals to conform and not to breach.

Thank you for your very active participation in this topic, Madam.

I do appreciate them.

Best regards,

Mariam
