1. Based on our discussion, explain comprehensively the meaning of Ethics in the context of personal
life, education, work, religion and law.

Based on the discussion Ethics is based on well-founded standards of right and


wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations,
benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues. In personal life tend to equate ethics
with their feelings. But being ethical is clearly not a matter of following one's feelings. A
person following his /her feelings may recoil from doing what is right. In fact, feelings
frequently deviate from what is ethical. identify ethics with religion. Most religions, of
course, advocate high ethical standards. Yet if ethics were confined to religion, then
ethics would apply only to religious people. But ethics applies as much to the behavior
of the atheist as to that of the devout religious person. Religion can set high ethical
standards and can provide intense motivations for ethical behavior. Ethics, however,
cannot be confined to religion nor is it the same as religion. In law can't be the same as
being ethical. Most people's ethical ideals are frequently included in the law. But
morality and law can diverge from one another. Examples of laws that vary from what is
moral include our own pre-Civil War slavery laws and the old apartheid rules of
contemporary.

Ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what
humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness,
or specific virtues. Ethics, for example, refers to those standards that impose the
reasonable obligations to refrain from rape, stealing, murder, assault, slander, and
fraud. Ethical standards also include those that enjoin virtues of honesty, compassion,
and loyalty. And, ethical standards include standards relating to rights, such as the right
to life, the right to freedom from injury, and the right to privacy. Such standards are
adequate standards of ethics because they are supported by consistent and well-
founded reasons. Ethics refers to the study and development of one's ethical standards.
As mentioned above, feelings, laws, and social norms can deviate from what is ethical.
So, it is necessary to constantly examine one's standards to ensure that they are
reasonable and well-founded. Ethics also means, then, the continuous effort of studying
our own moral beliefs and our moral conduct, and striving to ensure that we, and the
institutions we help to shape, live up to standards that are reasonable and solidly-
based.
2. Explain comprehensively, how does industry and Society complement each other? and how does
work ethic affects the smooth flow of industry as it serves society.

humility, integrity, compassion, selflessness or friendship.

attitude, thoughts, and decision-making.Values define as our emotion,belief in principle

Human values are relate to right conduct, relate our peace,truth,love and non-violence.

6. When does values become synonymous to ethics?

Ethics and Values together lay the foundation for sustainability. While they are
sometimes used synonymously, they are different, wherein ethics are the set of rules
that govern the behaviour of a person, established by a group or culture. Values refer to
the beliefs for which a person has an enduring preference. Ethics and values are
important in every aspect of life, when we have to make a choice between two things,
wherein ethics determine what is right, values determine what is important.
