ETHICS-definitions
The word ethics is derived from the Greek
word ethos meaning character and latin
word mores meaning customs
To better understand ethics let us
understand and contrast the definition of
ethics and law
Law is a consistent set of universal rules
that are widely published, generally
accepted and usually enforced. These rules
describe the ways in which people are
required to act in society.
Ethics defines what is good for the
individual and for society and establishes
the nature of duties that people owe to
oneself and others in society
Purpose of Ethics
Ethics are the guiding principles.
Where the proposed business activity/
operation of the company borders on the
unknown, the company needs to apply the
ethics principle to decide on the project.
Ethics help make relationships mutually
pleasant and productive- imbibes a sense
of community among members- a sense of
belongingness to society.
