Relationship of Ethics with

Other Phases of Human

Life
 5. Ethics and Law
Ethics are rules of conduct and comes from
peoples awareness of what is right and wrong.
Laws are made by governments in order to
protect its citizens.
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 persons moral values.
Laws are made with ethics as a guiding principle.
 Ethics and Religion
Religion gives believers a direction and
motivation for moral behaviour and a system
of meaning to support their ethical reflections
What is considered right and wrong will vary
from one religion to another but ideally
followers of a religious tradition will act in
accordance with its ethical system.
Actively religious people are much more likely
to say they are very happy with their lives
 Professional Codes of
Conduct

establishes acceptable standards of behavior
for all employees.
Basics common items covered in a workplace
code of conduct include employee dress codes,
attendance policies, health and safety
standards, and appropriate workplace
behaviors.
A thorough code of conduct should address
specific consequences an employee faces in
violating the code.
