Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy in which principles of right and wrong

behavior are systematized, defended and suggested. The term ethics derives from the ancient
Greek word ethikos, derived from the word ethos (habit, "custom"). The axiology branch of
philosophy consists of the sub-branches of ethics and aesthetics, each with a focus on values.
As a branch of philosophy, ethics investigates the questions “What is the best way for people to
live?"And" Which acts in particular circumstances are right or wrong?"In practice, by identifying
principles such as good and evil, right and wrong, goodness and sin, justice and crime, ethics
attempts to resolve human morality issues

Particular fields of application

us to address contradictions in current moral theory and providing a platform for experimental
research.

Examples
Unethical Leadership
One thing is having a personal issue with your boss, but reporting to an unethically behaved
person is another. This may occur in an obvious manner, such as manipulating numbers in a
report or spending money on inappropriate activities; however, it can also occur more subtly, in
the form of bullying, accepting inappropriate gifts from suppliers, or asking you to skip a
standard procedure ​just once. ​With studies indicating that managers are responsible for ​60% of
workplace misconduct​, the abuse of leadership authority is an unfortunate reality.

Toxic Workplace Culture

Organizations helmed by unethical leadership are more often than not plagued by toxic
workplace culture. Leaders who don't think about taking bribes, manipulating sales figures and
data, or pressuring employees or business associates for "favor" (whether personal or financial),
won't think about disrespecting and bullying their staff. A toxic culture can be exacerbated by
continuously repopulating the company with like-minded personalities and toxic mentalities with
the current emphasis in many organizations to hire for "cultural fit." Even worse, recruiting for
"cultural fit" can become a bias smokescreen that can lead to more ethical issues and legal
ramifications.

Discrimination and Harassment

Laws require that companies be providers with equal job opportunities. Organizations need to
hire a diverse workforce, implement policies and training that promote a system of equal
opportunities, and foster an environment that values all types of people. However, many still
break from EEOC rules in their activities. If discrimination and harassment of workers are taking
place based on race, ethnicity, sex, disability or age, not only an ethical line has been crossed,
but also a legal one.
