Ethics

Ethics are defined in terms of the standards and beliefs of a person, and the way a person behaves in a given circumstance. Ever since childhood, it is commonly taught to act ethically with regard to high morals and values. Ethics are extremely detrimental for the good and bad in a person, i.e., a person is judged on the mode and enrichment of ethics. As famously John Berger once said,

“Without ethics, man has no future. This is to say, humanity without them cannot be itself. Ethics determine choices and actions and suggest difficult priorities.”

The vitality of ethics can be seen in both, professional and personal life. The strength of a person relies upon his/her belief system and which is entirely determined through moral values. According to the society, a man who holds high moral values and codes has a firm belief in them and is obliged to these values strongly, is better than the person who does not believe and follow set rules of ethical systems and costs (Russell, 2013). Such people bring disruption to the societal norms and standards, ruin the moral-ethical principles of society.

The moral-ethical values vary according to the defined setup of every society, but the basics concept of good and evil is almost same for people regardless of their culture or ethnicity. The significance of ethical values in the private life of a person is perceived to be more strengthened than in his professional life. However, ethics should be equally or mutually important in both modes of life of a person, irrespective of the place or sphere of life. The belief of right or wrong is defined for a person since his childhood, such that the priming factors for a child are based on the good or bad selections. The family system of every person is demarcated on specific terms and conditions and doing something out of that box is not considered as good or ethical, and that person is thought of as hostile or disobedient (Berry, 2016). There is no respectable place for an unethical person in his family, and he is always treated as a non-significant individual of the family.

The ethical codes and concerns are actively followed in professional life too. However, the set of rules differ according to various organizations. Individuals tend to follow these code of ethics or else they are penalized for breaching any ethical concern or value at the workplace (O'Byrne, 2017). For instance, the moral systems set by the company are to be honest and loyal to the company, no legal breach of rules and regulations, and working confidentially for the company without leaking out the private information of the organization. The responsibilities and core values are determined through these ethics and benefits of the company.

Consequently, ethics are vital for the sustenance and well-being of society as well as organizational outcomes. The life would have been chaotic and mischievous if there were no set of ethical rule and regulations. Ethics and morals help in distinguishing between the right and wrong and good or bad. Thus, they are rightly considered as the soul of a society, without which organization is spineless.
