Introduction to Ethics

Ethics is the philosophical study of morality—what is right and wrong, good and bad. It

helps guide behavior and decision-making in personal and professional contexts.

Major branches include normative ethics (what we ought to do), metaethics (the nature

of moral values), and applied ethics (real-world moral issues).

Key ethical theories include utilitarianism (maximizing happiness), deontology

(duty-based ethics), and virtue ethics (character-focused).

Professional ethics govern conduct in fields like medicine, law, business, and

technology. Codes of ethics provide standards and accountability.

Contemporary ethical issues include climate change, AI and automation, data privacy,

bioethics, and social justice.

Moral dilemmas challenge individuals to balance conflicting values. Case studies and

debates help analyze such situations.

Ethical literacy fosters responsible citizenship and decision-making in complex, diverse

societies.
