The Nature and Purpose of Ethical Reflections:

Ethical Reflections The word ethics derived from the Greek word “ethos”, which refers to character, guiding beliefs, standards or ideals that pervade (encompass) a group, community of people. All individuals are accountable to their community for their behaviour. Webster: “Ethics is the discipline dealing with what is good and bad, with moral duty and obligations”. Peter F. Drucker : “There is only one ethics, one set of rules morality, one code: that of individual behaviour in which the same rules apply to everyone alike”. Philip W. Wright: “Ethics is a branch of philosophy which is the systematic study of selective choice of the standards of right and wrong by which it may be ultimately directed.

Nature of Ethical Reflections: The concept of ethics is applied to human beings only as they have freedom of choice and means of free will. Experts were of the opinion that ethics is more a science than an art. It is about moral behaviour and human conduct. The of ethics is a normative science. It is a search for an ideal litmus test of proper behaviour.

Purpose of Ethical Reflections To gather the necessary information to understand the situation fully. To identify the ethical issues and frame the ethical questions that are raised by the issues. Construct the ethical arguments and counter-arguments that answer the ethical questions posed. Generate a range of options for action and test each option using the ethical criteria developed in the analysis. Address the practical problem by selecting the option for action that best addresses the combined practical and ethical issues raised. Evaluate the outcomes of the decision and adjust future responses accordingly.
