2. The concept of ethicsThe process of forming ethics began in the middle of the first millennium BC in Ancient Greece, India, and China. The very term "ethics" (from the ancient Greek ethics, ethos - luck, habit) was introduced into the scientific circulation by Aristotle, who wrote such works as "Nikoshaha Ethics", "Great Ethics", and others. But it should not be considered "the first ethics".
3. Ethics - a system of moral norms of human behavior, any social or professional group. Deontology - the science of professional ethics of the medical and pharmaceutical workers, medical personnel management ,principles designed to maximize the usefulness of treatment and care.
4. The concept of moralityThe very word (term) "morality" comes from the Latin word "mores", which can be translated as "temper", "custom", "character". In this regard, the word "morality" is a kind of a slogan of the word "morality". It is not by chance that in everyday use and in the scientific literature the words "morality" and "morality" are used as synonyms.
5. Under morality is understood a set of rules, norms of behavior, which regulate, direct actions of people.
6. Functions of moralityTo understand the nature of morality, the role of the functions it performs is not far from the last. In the process of the formation of morality, its allocation to a relatively independent branch of culture established certain functions of morality, which are inherent to her and now. Let's highlight, in our opinion, the basic such functions.
7. Functions of moralityЕvaluation function Evaluation is carried out through the prism of the special concepts of moral consciousness: good and evil, justice, duty, conscience, etc. Moral assessments are universal in nature and apply to virtually all (with rare exceptions) human actions. The moral assessment is based on the moral beliefs of the individual and the authority of public opinion.
8. Functions of morality2. Cognitive functionShe does not have the same meaning, the same intensity as the estimator, but is closest to her intertwined. In particular, when an individual evaluates the actions of other people or their own, he inevitably receives a certain representation (incomplete, of course) about the inner world as his own, and other people.
9. Functions of morality3. World-view function As we have already noted, morality can not be reduced to simple rules. Moral consciousness inevitably comes to higher values, to the question of the content of life. But to solve the latter it is very important to discover the place of a person in the world. Man in order to know himself, must know "what is our world as a whole, what is its substance, whether it has any meaning and reasonable purpose, or has any value for our life and our actions, what is the nature of good and evil and so on ".
10. Functions of morality4. Educational function one of the most important functions of morality. Without a process of education - continuous, quite intense and purposeful - the impossibility of the existence of society, and the formation of a separate human person is impossible. But it must be emphasized that in the center of education there is an ethical upbringing, which forms the spiritual core of the person.
11. Functions of morality5. The regulatory function is a kind of synthesis of all other functions, because in the end the task of morality is to guide the thoughts and actions of an individual. Regulates the behavior of the individual, not only morality, but also law, religion, art, political consciousness, etc. But it is morality which gives man the most important, deeper orientations, namely, moral values are the center of the entire spiritual world of a person.
