PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND HUMAN VALUES
UNIT I – HUMAN VALUES
VALUES
Values are individual in nature.
Values are comprised of personal concepts of responsibility, entitlement and respect.
Values are shaped by personal experience, may change over the span of a lifetime and may be influenced by lessons learned.
Values may vary according to an individual’s cultural, ethnic and/or faith-based background.
MORALS
Morals are guiding principles that every citizen should hold.
Morals are foundational concepts defined on both an individual and societal level.
At the most basic level, morals are the knowledge of the difference between right and wrong.
PERSONAL ETHICS
Simply put, all individuals are morally autonomous beings with the power and right to choose their values, but it does not follow that all choices and all value systems have an equal claim to be called ethical.
Actions and beliefs inconsistent with the Six Pillars of Character - trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship - are simply not ethical.
MORALITY AND ETHICS
Concerns the goodness of voluntary human conduct that affects the self or other living things
Morality (Latin mores) usually refers to any aspect of human action
Ethics (Greek ethos) commonly refers only to professional behavior
