    1. Ethics is the way people act,it's how they believe in something, based on experience, tradition and personal traits. Ethics can be different depending on the context in which it was created, this means that there's no such thing as a better or worse Ethic, there is just different points of view.

  4. Ethics: What humans (as a group) think is right and wrong based on shared experiences and natural instincts.

    1. E.g When someone gives a seat to other person in the bus, they think it's a good behaviour because others tell them so. But when someone doesn´t kill a person he sees in the street it´s because his animal instincts tell them that it goes against his survival instinct.

    2. What insticts tell him that is wrong to kill people? I believe that is not an instincts thing, but also social behaviour. If one day killing became legal, heads would be flying all over the place.

    3. Killing is natural.In nature either you murder or get murdered , but as humans are an "intelligent" species they somehow understood that living in groups its better than living alone.That's how a natural instinct told humans not to kill his own kind, even before society and social behaviours arose.

    4. So yes, if murdering was legal almost everyone would enter a killing spree but they would soon realize that if everyone dies they will die too eventually. Therefore they would stop killing and start living as a group again. (roasted)

  5. Ethics is nothing but the practice of the morals, there is a thin layer between both, however, the main difference its about the behaviour, moral principles are inside us, ethics are the good or bad practice of them.

  6. Ethics can be a way of understanding and accepting different rules of what could socially acceptable to do in order to be in favor of a societies common good, although not all "ethical things" are legal or are accepted by certain societies/religions.

    1. Example: Something that could be considered ethical is taking in a stray cat to take care of it from the rain even if your parents have prohibited you from having an animal in your home.

      The ethical thing is to help and take care of a living being even if it goes against house rules.

  7. Ethics are, by my personal concept, the sense of good and evil that each person has, normally is teached in home, and children often behave as they parents command, however, there is a personal touch in each person ethics, that makes it unique.

  8. Ethics is to have the character to make decisions about a situation taking into account what we have been taught, what we have refuted,conclued,lived and thus create a conception of whether is considered "bad" or "good" to determine how to deal with this situation.

  12. Ethics is the study of morality. I believe it is the sense of what's right or wrong, it allows the individual to make that differentiation according to a personal compass. Even though personal, Ethics are shaped by social, economical and geographical circumstances, greatly impacted by religion, laws, nationality, family, beliefs, etc.

  13. In my opinion, ethics means acting in a responsible way, knowing that our actions will not harm other people or ourselves. Being tolerant, inclusive, kind, honest, polite are some examples of what I think is being ethical.

  14. for me ethics it's just the way you act in every situation, the way you react or the way you think about it, no one could tell you if its right or wrong or judge you about your way to be, ethics has nothing to be with laws or religion, and every single one has his own ethic.

    For example: if someone in colombia is stealing in the streets and gets caught a lot of people will think oh we should beat him off and a lot of people will think that they sould leave the case to the cops, no one could tell you that beat him off its right or wrong, and no one could tell you that call the cops its right or wrong.

  15. ethics embraces morality, studies how the human responses about dilemmas of life, what is wrong and what is fine, it has to do with the human conduct and its decitions.
    for example:
    When your boss asks you to do something that its wrong lets suppose ( to sign some bills that are not correct on what they say) here comes ethics to play an important roll and makes the worker to decide what to do, based on his believes.
