INTRODUCTION

TO ETHICS

PRESENTED BY:
DEYIE LAGO & REBECCA ALORA DAUZ
WHAT IS ETHICS?
The term ethics is derived from the Greek work ethos, which can mean
custom, habit, character or disposition.

Mos (nominative) or moris (genitive) is, on the other hand, the Latin
equivalent, which also means custom, or “traditional line of conduct”. It is
from this root word that the word moral or morality derived. Thus, Ethics
is identical to moral science or moral philosophy.
WHAT IS ETHICS?

At its simplest, ethics is a system of moral principles. It affect how


people make decisions and lead their lives.

Ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals and society and is
also described as moral philosophy. It is said to be the study of human
motivation, and human rational behavior.
WHAT IS ETHICS?
Ignacio (1985) defined ethics as the “practical and philosophical science
of the morality of human acts or human conduct.

Morality - is that quality of human acts by which we call some of this cats
good and some evil.

Human acts - are those actions performed by man: knowingly and freely,
deliberate or intentional actions, or voluntary.

Acts of man - which are instinctive and involuntary.


WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ETHICS?
Studying ethics will give you opportunity to carefully reflect on the values
that shape your life, no chance to think about whether the values in your
society are wise or foolish, no chance to expand your awareness of the values
of the other persons.

Ethics plays a big role in our society since it has a large influence on
today, as well as the future. We need to learn about good ethics because they
guide our decisions, make us who we are, and determine our future.
THE OBJECT OF ETHICS
There are three object in ethics which are the material object, formal object,
and formula object quo.

Material object
> refers to the subject matter to be studied, namely, the human act.
Formal object
> is the morality of the human act.
Formula objec quo
> is the human reason employed in the study of the course.
