Ethics and Moral Issues

Ethics and moral issues are something we deal with in our day to day life, weather it is at work or home. These issues are a part of life in how we make decision, act, value, and how we may speak to someone or even in judging a decision that a person may take. They may be different but at the end they are the same. Personal and business ethics how are their different. There are many examples when it comes to ethical problems every day we come across them when we wake up in the morning even as we drive to work.

Ethical and moral issue is something we come across in our daily living. A moral issue defines our character while ethics state the working social structure. Ethics is part of our moral code it depends on how we act in society. When we talk about a person's morality we think about our grandparent, parents and religion because they are the one who teach us this as we grow until we grow and become adult, and become independent this will help us on the way we act in a public place , job or even pass on to our children . But in reality some people forget what it is, along the way and become someone that society rejects because of their bad behavior. While ethics defines work and society's rules, moral is more of who we are and how we behave in public, like at work a court house etc.

Business ethics in a company is necessary because this helps with the structure the company employee. The configuration of the code of ethics may change form company to company or profession. This is important because you are to be expended to follow these rules. Personal ethics is deferent because it is about your values this is not a code book which you follow by it has to do with your values, honesty loyalty, the why you behave. Knowing what is good or bad, you're conscious it has to do with the value you have been raised with.

Giving examples of these issue one would be abortion this is a controversial subject for many, some people may go against abortion because of their religion, or the teaching of their parent that killing a life is not a right decision, that you should continue with the pregnancy no matter what other may say this is a question of your moral. While others may favor abortion because they think having an unwanted child is not the right thing to do. a code of ethics code for people to go by which our grandparents followed would be the bible .we find that we have the Ten Commandments to go by so this is a good example of our moral codes.
