STANDARDS
Chapter 7:

2. WHAT ARE
ETHICAL
STANDARDS?
7/1/20XX Pitch deck title 2
An ethical standard is the
commonly accepted behavior
performed in any given
circumstance. If a decision is
to be made between two paths
to take, the ethical standard is
the choice of the majority of
people. This does not
necessarily mean this is the
correct path to take.

3. MORALITY:
Morality may refer to the standards that a person or
a group has about what is right and wrong, or good
and evil. Accordingly, moral standards are those
concerned with or relating to human behavior,
especially the distinction between good and bad (or
right and wrong) behavior. Morality is an innate
sense, instinctively practiced, of what is in the best
interests of individuals, nations, and the planet. It
seeks to preserve, and perpetuate, freedom,
happiness, and innocent life.

4. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MORAL STANDARDS
AND NON-MORAL STANDARDS
7/1/20XX 4
Moral standards are norms
that individuals or groups
have about the kinds of
actions believed to be
morally right or wrong, as
well as the values placed on
what we believed to be
morally good or morally bad.
MORAL STANDARDS
Non-moral standards refer to
standards by which we judge
what is good or bad and
right or wrong in a non-moral
way.

6. MORAL
STANDARDS:
Moral standards are principles or
guidelines that determine what is
right or wrong, good or bad, in
terms of human behavior. They
serve as a framework for
individuals and societies to make
ethical decisions and
judgements. These standards
are often influenced by cultural,
religious and philosophical
beliefs.

focus on promoting values
such as honesty, fairness
respect and compassion.
They provide framework for
individuals to make ethical
choices and behave in a
morally responsible manner.

Non-moral standards refer to rules that
are unrelated to moral or ethical

are not necessarily linked to morality or
by nature lack ethical sense. Basic

include rules of etiquette, fashion
standards, rules in games, and various
house rules.
