What is Ethics?
Why is it relevant in your field?
What is Ethics?

• A branch of Philosophy and a social science and


academic discipline that aids in understanding and
adapting situations that affect lives.
• It is an inquiry into some standard to guide one’s action,
or as a tool to understand a given condition.
What is Ethics?
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
Ethics, generally speaking, is about matters
such as the good thing that we should pursue
and the bad thing that we should avoid: the
right ways in which we could or should act
and the wrong ways of acting. It is about what
is acceptable and unacceptable in human
behavior. It may involve obligations that we
are expected to fulfill, prohibitions that we
are required to respect or ideals that we are
encouraged to meet.
Rushworth Kidder:
states that "standard definitions
of ethics have typically included such
phrases as 'the science of the ideal
human character' or 'the science of
moral duty'“.
Richard William Paul and Linda Elder

define ethics as "a set of concepts and


principles that guide us in determining
what behavior helps or harms sentient
creatures"
The study of standards of conduct and moral
judgment; moral philosophy.

The system or code of morals of a particular


person, religion, group, profession, etc.

Ethics is defined as a moral philosophy or


code of morals practiced by a person or
group of people.

meaning customs or manners morality seems to
point to the relationships between human beings.

3. Unethical – means wrong.

4. Immoral – means bad.


Lesson 1: Brotherhood or Violence?
ACTIVITY
Directions: Try to consider the following questions.

1. In the story reported, what wrong thing done are you able to
identify.
2. What are the possible pros and cons of holding on to fraternities?
In August 2007, Cris Anthony Mendez, a twenty-year old
student at University of the Philippines (UP) passed away
that morning, and the subsequent autopsy report strongly
suggest that his physical injuries were most probably the
result of “hazing” (the term colloquially used to refer to
initiation rites in which neophytes may be subjected to
various forms of physical abuse). What exactly happened
remains an open question, as none of those who were with
him that night came forward to shed light on what had
transpired. Needless to say, none of them came forward to
assume responsibility for the death of Cris, those members of
theirs who had been with him that night vanished, avoiding
and refusing to cooperate with legal authorities
Pondering on fraternity violence, we may find ourselves
asking questions such as, “What is the value of one’s life?”,
“What exactly were the wrongs done to the victim by his so-
called fraternity brothers?”, or perhaps even, “Is there any good
to fraternities?” These questions that concern good and bad, or
right and wrong are the kind of questions that we deal with in
ethics.
