The most frequently violated word in our day to day life
“Ethics”.
What makes you feel that you are Ethical?
Who will govern our actions, Legislation or our Ethics?
Building ethical behavior involves following steps:
Step 1: Education
Education is not about scoring an A+ Grade throughout the
curriculum. Education is simply learning. Basic Education did not help us to
get educated, as it was laid on us by our parents. Education should have helped
us learn Values. Values that included understanding Legislation, Norms,
Religion, fundamentals, etc. This Value Education process went on till our last
qualification.
Step 2: Morals
In the process of education and attaining values, we
developed Morals. Our understanding of values helped in formulating moral
values for each of us individually. Morals act as a rule book for every
individual. In simple words “Governing factors”.
Step 3: Ethics
Morals help in controlling our Ethics. Ethical behavior can
only be dependent on the morals that you set for yourself. Being ethical is not
just restricted to what you feel is right or wrong, but it is about being
ethically correct considering the society. And if you think you care a damn
about the society, then it surly is a mutual feeling.
Brilliant thinking! Must say that now I can see the +ve change in the new you :)
