ETHICAL ISSUES

World and India


ETHICAL ISSUES IN WORLD

5 ETHICAL ISSUES ARE :-


• STUDENT : CHARACTER

• ERADICATING DISCRIMINATION ,
PREJUDICE AND RACISM

• GLOBALISATION

• CIVIL LIBERTIES AND HUMAN


RIGHTS

• EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES AND


ETHICS
STUDENT CHARACTER

Each student deserves example, encouragement,


and empowerment to cultivate virtues critical to
society: character, courage, and community.

“Every educational community must be fully


dedicated to character education. This philosophy is
vital to reawakening the nation by giving hope,
vision, and inspiration to our youth who must
reignite America’s torch of character, courage, and
community.”
ERADICATING DISCRIMINATION ,
PREJUDICE AND RACISM

“Respect for human rights is the basis of moral legitimacy and the
criteria of government’s rightful authority.

“This respect is also a reflection of character, not only of individuals,


but of a nation. Respect always stands diametrically opposed to
discrimination, prejudice, and racism. These vices are dehumanising as
they dishonour the moral heartbeat of humanity demanding respect for
our neighbour.

“Every person deserves dignity and respect, as we are all members of


the same human family.

“This respect must extend to all, including those who are different by
sex, race, color, social conditions, language, ethnicity, age, country of
origin, or religion.”
CIVIL LIBERTIES AND
HUMAN RIGHTS
In recent years there has been a growing body of equality and human rights
legislation, including the Human Rights Act 1998. This means that some
human rights are now legally enforceable and must be protected.For example:

The right to respect for private and family life can only be


interfered with for certain reasons, for example to prevent crime and protect
of the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to a fair trial, together with the right to ‘fair’ treatment,
embraces the principle that the prosecution must prove the guilt of the
defendant beyond reasonable doubt.

The principle of ‘proportionality’ is at the heart of the recommendations in the


report. This means that any interference with legally enforceable human rights
must be justified as being proportionate to the need to detect and prosecute
offenders, and there must be evidence that the interference will be effective.
GLOBALISATION

Globalisation is the process by which regional economies,


societies, and cultures have become integrated through a
global network of political ideas through communication,
transportation, and trade.

Or in simple word, Globalisation is the process of interaction


and integration between people, companies, and governments
worldwide.

The advance of new technologies and globalization have


managed to connect to the world as never before, however,
they have increased social inequalities and concentrated
wealth in the hands of a small part of the population.
EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES
AND ETHICS
Ethical issues may be related to employment practices in many
nations. The conditions in a host country may be much
inferior to those in a multinational’s home nation. Many may
suggest that pay and work conditions need to be similar across
nations, but no one actually cares about the quantum of this
divergence.

12-hour workdays, minimal pay, and indifference in protecting


workers from toxic chemicals are common in some developing
nations. Is it fine for a multinational to fall prey to the same
practice when they chose such developing nations as their host
countries? The answers to these questions may seem to be
easy, but in practice, they really create huge dilemmas
ETHICAL ISSUES IN INDIA

5 ETHICAL ISSUES ARE :-

• RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE

• ATTITUDE TOWARDS
WOMEN AND MINORITIES

• HONESTY

• NON- DISCRIMINATION

• ECONOMIC DISPARITY
RELIGION INTOLERANCE

It has been a major problem in our country which exist


even before the Mughals came to India.

There are many people in our country who are very


sensitive towards religion and their practices even if it
actually wrong.

India is the fourth-worst country in the world for


religious violence behind Syria, Nigeria and Iraq.

In India, the Hindu Vs Muslim is the biggest issue that


hasn’t been solved yet.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS
WOMEN AND MINORITIES
Equality is written into Indian Law, it is improved, but much
remains to be done. Also a practical prerequisite as in the
previous paragraph. Note that emancipation and education
of women (and men, and lower castes too) is crucial to good
community life and would be a natural constraint on over-
population.

Recruiting minorities into research studies requires special


attention, particularly when studies involve “extra-
vulnerable” participants with multiple vulnerabilities, e.g.,
pregnant women, the foetuses/neonates of ethnic minorities,
children in refugee camps, or cross-border migrants
HONESTY

Truthfulness and integrity in India’s politics and


institutions — this includes addressing corruption. This
too makes for efficiency. It’s not surprising that while
ethics may spring from ideals, it also has good practical
consequences. Truthfulness requires being honest in
religion and so not constrained by its archaic aspects.

The ethical issues that India is confronting today, are -


Lack of Honesty andIntegrity: Wide-spread corruption
& evading taxes are symptoms of the malaise and lack
of integrity & honesty in India.
NON-DISCRIMINATION

Equal opportunity for all Indians regardless of place and


status of birth, particularly but not only the ‘untouchables’
and the unseen — the indigenous tribal peoples. Due to
regional ethnic differences, every ethnicity is effectively a
minority.

Justice and equality are two founding principles of universal


human rights. Any attempt to infringe these principles is
considered as an infringement of the human dignity. The
equality principle implies the duty of equal treatment of any
individual or group irrespectively of their particular
characteristics, and any infringement is discriminatory.
ECONOMIC DISPARITY

Poverty and inequality have long been concerns of


development economics. A social development paradigm
with an emphasis on pro-poor growth is replacing the
trickle-down industrialisation model.

Eradicating poverty and rectifying extreme levels of


inequality go hand in hand with economic growth. It is
true that a broad-based participation of people in
productive activities can increase a nation’s total output of
goods and services, and promote economic development.
However, poverty and inequality are not just economic
issues. They are ethical issues as well.
