Relation of Ethics with other Sciences

 Sociology
The science of ethics is therefore practically a part of sociology. It deals with the feelings and
ideas underlying certain modes of conduct, while sociology deals with the modes of conduct
which spring from those feelings and ideas.

 Economics
Economics is linked to both ethics and the theory of rationality. Economics complements and
intersects with moral philosophy in both the concepts it has constructed and in its treatment of
normative problems. Ethical issues connect intimately with economic issues. Take the economic
practice of doing a cost-benefit analysis. You could spend one hundred dollars for a night on the
town, or you could donate that one hundred dollars to the re-election campaign of your favorite
politician. Which option is better? The night on the town increases pleasure. A politician’s
successful campaign may lead to more liberty in the long term. We regularly make decisions like
this, weighing our options by measuring their likely costs and likely benefits against each other.

 Education
Ethics in education are essential as they help run the system smoothly. it sets the standards of
what's acceptable and what's not hence protecting the interests of both the educators and the
learners. Ethics in education has been given a lot of importance over the years and institutions
are designing courses that help students understand these ethics. Ethics in education are
applicable on both the instructors as well as the students. while it's the teacher's job to make the
students aware about these ethics the school management often takes it upon them to familiarize
the instructors with the ethics that are relevant to their profession.
 Morality and Law
Ethics and morals relate to “right” and “wrong” conduct. While they are sometimes used
interchangeably, they are different: ethics refer to rules provided by an external source, e.g.,
codes of conduct in workplaces or principles in religions. Morals refer to an individual's own
principles regarding right and wrong.
Ethics are rules of conduct. Laws are rules developed by governments in order to provide
balance in society and protection to its citizens. Ethics comes from people’s awareness of what is
right and wrong. Laws are enforced by governments to its people. Ethics are moral codes which
every person must conform to. Laws are codifications of ethics meant to regulate society. Ethics
does not carry any punishment to anyone who violates it. The law will punish anyone who
happens to violate it. Ethics comes from within a person’s moral values. Laws are made with
ethics as a guiding principle.

 Arts
There is long history surrounding the relationship between the arts and ethics. The arts affect
individual identities, communities, and relationships between people and their environments.
The arts can contribute to the ethical life of a community, as exemplified by public art and
theatre. Some people have been suspicious of the role of the arts on individual ethical outlooks,
as reflected by censorship and ratings labels. The arts can also affect relational ethics, either
positively as in the case of a caregiver singing to a child or negatively as in the use of music to
encourage violence. Another strand of thought argues that the arts do not mean anything outside
of themselves and are therefore isolated from ethics. Each theory of the relation between arts and
ethics leads to different views of the ways the arts are experienced and gives rise to different
responsibilities for producers and experiencers of the arts.
 Politics

Both politics and ethics deal with norms: Both of them study human behavior and give laws for
it. Politics lays down laws to organize individuals and groups in order to bring about mass
improvements. On the other hand, ethics makes laws, aimed at the attainment of the ultimate
good for the individual. Though both Political Science and Ethics aim at the noble and righteous
life of man, yet the former is primarily concerned with the political governance of man whereas
the latter refers to man's conduct and morality; that is, whereas Political Science deals
with political order, Ethics deals with moral order.

 Religion

The relationship between religion and ethics is about the relationship between revelation and
reason. Religion is based in some measure on the idea that God (or some deity) reveals insights
about life and its true meaning. These insights are collected in texts (the Bible, the Torah, the
Koran, etc.) and presented as “revelation.” Ethics, from a strictly humanistic perspective, is
based on the tenets of reason: Anything that is not rationally verifiable cannot be considered
justifiable. From this perspective, ethical principles need not derive their authority from religious
doctrine. Instead, these principles are upheld for their value in promoting independent and
responsible individuals—people who are capable of making decisions that maximize their own
well-being while respecting the well-being of others.
Ethics and a World without this: The Importance of Ethics

We humans were born to change. We grow. We learn. We move. As we grow, we learn


ethics and as we move, we apply ethics - a moral principles that govern a person's behavior. It’s
one of the aspects in life in order for us to change holistically. Yet in today’s crisis change is the
single biggest threat to life on Earth.
Hear me out and take a closer look of how a society without ethics would be. Just imagine
a world without ethics; misunderstandings resulting miscommunication and creating the language
of hatred, corruption, cruelty, fights, wars, misery, craziness, anarchy, and all of the above that
would put life into hell - a world without colorist, a selfish world for everyone who only think
about their selves this could be a little bit of what we got now but much worse and to multiply all
of this is a lifeless world that’s what we’re going to have and then I think the only thing we do is
chaos.
Ethics is more like our alter ego or consciousness without this every day we have to contend
with our human urges; why shouldn’t I kill someone, why shouldn’t I have lots of sexual relations
outside marriage, and why shouldn’t I rob the bank. When we go against our ethics that grates
against us and we feel it as if it’s almost like an unspoken code that guides everyone’s behaviour.
It’s about recognizing those sort of deciding to live in a way that you could be proud of.
Ethics should always be in the center reminding us of everything we do. It’s a very
important part of society and make society liveable. Ethics is what keeps the glue of society
together. If we didn’t have ethics we have lived in a capitalistic liberalist nightmare of trying to
destroy each other and compete against each other.
But the real question we should be asking is not in the importance of ethics. It’s the question
of if we still have and apply ethics in our daily lives.
Now, I know we all don’t want to live in a world without ethics so I hope this would
encourage you to take action, for it is through words that action follows.
