4. What are Ethics?
Ethics are a set of code of moral principles that decide what is right and wrong.
Ethos in Greek means characters. Ethics are like value standards in society around us. ‘Ethical’ refers
to the morally correct behaviour of a person or group. Ethics are applied, rather, are the foundation
of every field.There are three branches of ethics as per philosophy:
Meta-Ethics: This branch of ethical studies focuses on the theoretical aspect. Answering questions like
why, when, how to do a thing, how a situation originated, etc. is meta-ethics.
Normative Ethics: It is also known as Prescriptive ethics. It includes questions that answer why an
action can be right or wrong. The judgment of a situation is the key aspect of normative ethics.
Applied Ethics: These ethics apply in specific fields like animal ethics, business ethics, bioethics, etc.
What are Values?
Value means worth. A value is a socially acceptable concept of what is important and to what degree.
Values define how we treat others in any association. The effect of good values lasts lifelong in
dealing with difficult or unfortunate or adverse situations that come along the way of life.

6. What are Human Values ?
A human being in his life learns numerous values like sharing and cooperation, equality, social
social justice, dignity, freedom, secularism, etc. We, as humans, are a part of many social organizations
like schools, workplaces, markets, businesses, etc. Read more about Secularism in Indian
constitution here.
Before that, we are a part of an environment formed by nature. Humans ought to abide by
environmental values as well.
These values are very important for the holistic development of humans, their families, and
communities. We apply these values all our lives but don’t even come to know about it…it’s that
deeply restored in our memories. Values and ethics are key factors in the personality development of
human beings. Many a time, these values add to our mental and spiritual well being.
Ignorance of values causes a person to drift away from the path to his goals, and such people often
commit wrongdoings. Traditionally, this has been a common notion. However, if we say a person’s
values and ethics are shaped according to his upbringing and immediate surroundings, aren’t we
blaming society?
In simple words, human values and ethics have a role in building society as we see it and vice versa.

7. What are Human Values?
A Profession is when many people follow the same kind of occupation
and are related to each other as a part of an organized team or company.
These professionals are bound to their professions and colleagues by moral
principles. It is usually studied under applied ethics.
The set of guiding principles of what is right and wrong at our workplaces,
followed by us, can be said to be Professional ethics.
Professional ethics are characterized by the individual responsibilities,
obligations of the employees and owners, and related professionals of any
organization. They are accountable for their actions to their colleagues,
clients, and customers as well as society.

8. TYPES OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS
Professions include Doctors, Lawyers, engineers, corporate, and many such organized
professional services.
1. Medical Ethics: These are issued by the National Medical Associations of respective countries.
The Medical fraternity is responsible for mannered behaviour with the patients, respect their
confidentiality. There are specialized laws for Euthanasia (ending the patients’ life in case
he/she is terminally ill and does not wish to suffer).
2. Judicial Ethics: Ethics are applied at every stage of any judiciary and legal action. Truth, Loyalty,
the right decision, equality to everyone for the basis of judicial ethical principles. Lawyers, while
defending their clients shall not make any degrading remarks at others
3. Media Ethics: We all know how media bodies report false or twisted news to sensationalize it.
Honest, reliable news reporting is what is needed. For example, Journaling about an issue in the
society with an unbiased view is the demand for ethics, but some journalists might directly
claim unproved facts or false claims.
4. Other organizations like almost every corporate, educational institute,
governmental institutes have their own Code of Conduct for managing
their professional ethics.

10. How are values related to Ethics?
Values can be called as subsets of Ethics, a wider subject. Values
are the backbone of any ethical code. Values are the ones which
reflect a person or group’s upbringing, mentality, his goals, etc. These
factors influence the formation of societies, communities or
organizations, and their ethical sets.

13. Conclusion
The Indian Constitution, or any democratic
constitution for that matter, is built on a system of
values and ethical principles like freedom, equality,
sovereignty, justice, transparency, etc. that allow the
citizens of a democracy to trust its government and
judiciary. Hence we can call democracy to be a
system built on a strong ethical foundation studded
with human values.
