ETHICS AND HUMAN INTERFACE
Ethics carves out the moral truth from the complexities of human actions, just as a sculptor chisels away excess marble to reveal the masterpiece within.
Ethics is the branch of philosophy that deals with moral principles and values. It involves the study of what is right and wrong, good and bad, just and unjust, and fair and unfair. Ethics is concerned with evaluating human actions, intentions and institutions in terms of the moral principles and values that they embody. It is also concerned with the development of moral character and the cultivation of virtuous habits.
Ethics can be divided into three branches:
1.Normative Ethics: This branch of ethics deals with the question of what is morally right or wrong, good or bad. Normative ethics seeks to establish moral principles and guidelines that can be used to evaluate human actions and institutions.
2.Applied Ethics: This branch of ethics deals with the application of moral principles and guidelines to specific issues or problems. Examples of applied ethics include bioethics, business ethics, and environmental ethics.
3.Descriptive Ethics: This branch of ethics deals with the study of how people actually make moral judgments and how they act on those judgments. Descriptive ethics is concerned with understanding the moral beliefs, values, and practices of different cultures and societies.
In practice, ethics is the foundation for any decision-making process and it helps individuals, organizations and society to make the right decision and act in a morally right way.
