Ethics

Introduction

Ethics derives from, the Greek word “ethicos” which means arising from custom or from the French word “ethos” meaning custom. According to Websters’s dictionary ethics is a concept that deals with moral issues of good and bad, based on societal norms. Ethics, is the code written or unwritten that guides the behaviour of human beings, in the context of different cultures and situations. This moral code may vary from society to society. However there are certain aspects that hold good in every situation. The application of these principles would be dependent on the person and the situation. In short it is a judgment call.
