Why ethics?

There are times when the right and wrong decisions are obvious, but what about the
times where the outcome is less clear? Ethics help us navigate the grey area between
absolute right and morally wrong. They provide the structure that helps us make a decision
we can be proud of. Basic principles of ethics can help us lead a more fulfilling life whether
on a personal or professional level. it doesn't only make us more successful in life, but it
also provides for a stable society.
You may think that ethics can hold you back in all kinds of ways, but the truth is the
opposite. Ethical people embody traits that unethical people have to work at to fake —
they’re honest, trustworthy, loyal, and caring. As a result, ethical people are perfectly
suited not only for interpersonal relationships generally but also more specifically for the
kinds of interactions that make for a thriving business. In contrast, unethical people
generally don’t do so well at these things.
We need to be ethical because it defines who we are individually and as a society. A
stable society requires a lot of ethical people working together in highly coordinated ways.
Ethical values (i.e., honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility) help guides society along a
pathway to deal more effectively with ethical dilemmas by eliminating those behaviours
that do not conform to our sense of right and wrong without sacrificing others. These are
norms of behaviour that everyone should follow. Our society might fall into chaos if we
accept that each of us could pick and choose what the right thing to do is. Some people
may lie; others may not do what they say they will do; still, others act irresponsibly and
engage in harmful behaviour.
In conclusion, the importance of ethics doesn't stop at the personal level or the social
level, but it surpasses it to touch all aspects of life because Ethics can give real and practical
guidance to our lives.
