Tracing The Roots
 Ethics isn’t a new concept.
 It has been with us for thousands of years, except that its importance is dawning on
us only now.
 Our ancient literature: Vedas, Puranas , Ramayanas , Gita, Bible, Guru Granth Sahib
and the Koran all are full of moral values and ethical code of conduct.
What Sociologists Say….
“ ETHICS IS THINKING IN TERMS OF THE LARGER PICTURE,
NOT IGNORING OR NEGLECTING ONES OWN INTEREST AND WELL BEING BUT NOT
OVEREMPHASISING ONES OWN INTERESTS EITHER.”

Variances in Defining Ethics
 Variances arise because our value base may vary from individual to individual.
 Ethical behavior in the eyes of one person may be unethical in the eyes of
another.
 Societal situations also vary thus creating variances in defining ethical behavior.
 Experts believe that ethics are not absolute, but relative.
 Ethical behavior is in the eyes of the beholder, what is right or wrong is a
personal individual matter, influenced by societal norms.
