INTRODUCTION – ETHICS ARE FUNDAMENTAL STANDARDS OF CONDUCT BY
WHICH WE WORK AS PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE.VALUES ARE COMPRISED OF
PERSONAL CONCEPTS OF RESPONSIBILITY, ENTITLEMENT AND RESPECT.
MORALS ARE THE KNOWLEDGE OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS RIGHT AND
WRONG.
ASPECTS OF ETHICS – IT INVOLVES THE ABILITY TO DISCERN RIGHT FROM
WRONG, GOOD FROM EVIL, PROPRIETY FROM IMPROPRIETY. IN THE FAST
MOVING AND TECH BASED WORLD, THE BIG QUESTION IS THAT ‘DO EVERYONE
LIVE UPTO THE VALUES?’
VALUES ARE THE STANDARDS WHICH MAKES US DISTINGUISHED FROM OTHER
CREATURES. IT IS THE GUIDELIGHT TO A HAPPIER, MORALLY HEALTHIER LIFE.
CONCEPT OF FAITH – MORAL OBJECTIVISTS ARE PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT THE
WORLD RUNS BY VALUES. ANTI – OBJECTIVISTS OR SUBJECTIVISTS ARE PEOPLE
WHO SAY THAT THE WORLD DOES NOTRUN BY VALUES. THERE IS A BIG
QUESTION WHERE WE STAND TODAY REGARDING THESE TERMS.
TWO MODELS ARE THERE TO UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS.-
MODEL OF PERCEPTION SUBJECTED BY OBJECTIVISTS SAYS SOMETHING
WHICH IS DESIRED HAS VALUE. MODEL OF TASTE SUPPORTED BY
SUBJECTIVISTS SAYS A THING HAS VALUE BECAUSE IT IS DESIRED.
SIMPLE SUBJECTIVISM – IT CLAIMS THAT ALL VALUES ARE TRUE CONCERNING
SELF.IT DEPENDS UPON PERSON TO PERSON.
