Defining Ethics

- Ethics deals with the "rightness" or "wrongness" of human behavior, considering the motivation behind the behavior
- Bioethics applies ethical principles to life-and-death issues
Ethics Classification
- Impermissible: wrong to do it and right not to do it
- Permissible: ethically "neutral", neither right nor wrong to do
- Supererogatory: actions that go "above and beyond the call of duty" (right to do, but not wrong not to do them)
Ethics vs. Morals
- Both ethics and morals refer to "right" and "wrong" behaviors, but they are different
- Ethics refer to rules provided by an external source, such as a code of conduct
- Morals refer to an individual's principles regarding right and wrong
Characteristics of Ethics

- Ethical norms are not universal, but depend on the subculture of the society
- Ethics is a philosophical discipline about moral problems, dealing with the art of living
What is Ethics?
- The formal study of what is right and wrong
- The study of the bases or principles for deciding right and wrong
- The analysis of the processes by which we decide what is right and wrong
- A system of moral principles or standards governing conduct
What Ethics is Not
- Mere obedience to the law or compliance
- Ethics is not just following the law, but involves moral principles and values
Religious vs. Moral Norms
- Religious norms are characterized by the concept of sanctity, while moral norms are characterized by the concept of good
- Religious norms are more absolute and unconditional than moral norms
- Breaking a religious norm is considered a sin, while violating a moral norm is seen as a mistake against one's dignity
Applied Ethics
- Obligatory: an ethical obligation to perform an action, it is not only right to do it, but wrong not to do it
