It’s not an easy word to define. Almost everyone wants to live an ethical life, but knowing what that means is not as simple as it sounds! Ethics is concerned with standards, rules or guidelines for morally or socially approved conduct, such as being honest or trustworthy or acting in the best interest of a society. What’s Ethical? Not all standards or values are ethical standards. For example, personal preferences and values, such as individual choices of food or clothing, are not important enough to qualify as ethical values or choices. Ethical standards apply only to conduct which has some significant effect on people’s lives. For example, if an engineer used a substandard grade of steel in the construction of a bridge, he or she would definitely have violated ethical standards because of the potential safety hazards to society. Everyday Personal Ethics Examples Copying of Videos or CDs. Plagiarism. Software Piracy. Copying homework or tests. “Borrowing” school supplies from friends and teachers and never returning them.
