Importance of Ethics

Introduction
•Ethics is the branch of philosophy that
involves systematizing, defending, and
recommending concepts of right and wrong
conduct.
•The term ethics derives from the ancient
Greek word 'ethos’ which means custom or
habit.
•In practice, 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, understood as
the capacity to think
critically about moral
values and direct our
actions in terms of such
values, is a generic
human capacity."
Types of Ethics
Philosophers nowadays divide ethical theories mainly into
three areas: meta-ethics, normative ethics and applied ethics.

• Meta-ethics deals with the nature of moral judgment. It looks


at the origins and meaning of ethical principles.

• Normative ethics is concerned with the content of moral


judgments and the criteria for what is right and what is wrong
course of action.

• Applied ethics looks at what a person is obligated (or


permitted) to do in a specific situation or a particular domain
of action.
Difference between Meta & Normative
Ethics
•Normative Ethics deals •Meta Ethics
with questions like deals with
“Which of my actions questions like
should be considered as “What is
good?” ‘good’?”
Applied Ethics
•It is the philosophical examination, from a moral standpoint,
of particular issues in private and public life which are matters
of moral judgment. It is thus the attempts to use philosophical
methods to identify the morally correct course of action in
various fields of everyday life.

Why do we need
Ethics?
Ethics
guides us
like a map

•Most moral issues get us pretty worked up because these


are such emotional issues we often let our hearts do the
arguing while our brains just go with the flow.
But there's another way of tackling these issues, and that's
where philosophers can come in - they offer us ethical rules
and principles that enable us to take a cooler view of moral
problems.
 Ethics is about feeling for others

• At the heart of ethics is a concern about


something or someone other than us and
our own desires and self-interest.
• Ethics is concerned with other people's
interests, with the interests of society.
• So when a person 'thinks ethically' they
are giving at least some thought to
something beyond themselves.
 Ethical values creates integrity

• High sense of ethics and values makes a man


trustworthy and representable.
• If a professional individual follows every legal
and moral codes, abides by the rules and
regulations of the company and tries to create
the maximum profit for the client and for the
company then the said individual catalyses the
increment of integrity of the company as well
as himself/herself.
Advantages of Ethical Behavior in
the workplace

• Builds Customer Loyalty


• Retains Good Employees
• Creates a Positive Work Environment
• Gets easier to Avoid Legal Problems
• Makes profit in the Long run
 Unethical behavior leads to one’s downfall
Hard work, Legal and ethical behavior
and perseverance leads to success.

•It was founded in 2001 as a micro-finance company and in 2014


Bandhan bank received banking license from the Reserve Bank of
India.
•In 2014, the capital of Bandhan bank was INR 2570 crores.
Conclusion
Technological growth and all other progress as a
civilization fails if we give up our morals and values.
The only thing which separates us from other
animals is our conscience. If we obey our morals our
internal peace is maintained. So, our code of ethics
makes us who we are and keeps the society in
harmony.
