Course
Overview
Ethics is essentially a code of conduct
on how we ought to lead our lives: sometimes it can appear in written form – as
reflected in the laws of the land – but it can also be present in our unwritten
philosophical and social beliefs that manifest themselves in everyday
behaviour. Ethics is not a science, i.e. it is not absolute – people can, and
often do, disagree on what is acceptable and unacceptable conduct. Ethics has
become the cornerstone that binds an institution or the group together. They
are the moral guidelines and standards set by a group pursuing the same goals
to adhere to for the smooth coexistence.
