Ethics
-A person's conduct or behavior in a variety of social, professional, cultural, and personal
circumstances is governed by a set of moral principles known as ethics. It entails making
moral distinctions between good and bad behavior as well as fairness, justice, honesty, and
accountability to oneself and others. Decisions and assessments regarding what behaviors are
proper or acceptable in various circumstances are frequently based on ethical principles.

Importance
-it’s important to the people because it gives them a moral framework that directs their
behavior and decision-making, fosters relationships based on trust and fairness, strengthens
their sense of personal integrity and worth, supports social responsibility and justice, helps
them make better decisions by taking moral implications into account, guards against harm to
themselves and others, upholds their professional reputation and integrity, and supports the
moral and cultural development of their societies. In general, ethics creates a more moral and
peaceful environment by encouraging a sense of responsibility, respect, and wellbeing among
people and groups.

Moral standards vs Non-Moral Standards

Moral Standards- are guidelines or precepts that delineate appropriate and inappropriate
conduct, predicated on ethical precepts such as impartiality, equity, truthfulness, and regard
for others. They are based on ideas about what is morally right or wrong that are universal,
independent of the law or social norms. Moral standards, which represent fundamental ideas
that support societal cohesiveness, personal integrity, and a just society, serve as a guide for
people in making ethical judgments and are regarded as binding in all settings.

Non-Moral Standards- are guidelines for behavior that don't focus largely on what is
morally right or bad. Rather than being founded on moral precepts, they frequently follow
social norms, legal obligations, or pragmatic concerns. Timeliness, clothing regulations,
etiquette, professional standards, traffic laws, and company policies are a few examples. Non-
moral standards are flexible enough to adapt to diverse cultural and contextual circumstances,
and they are not fixed by basic ethical principles but rather by societal conventions or
pragmatic demands.
