Questions on this lesson

Why Bother Studying Ethics

Ethical decisions are everywhere

In the Home should I spank my children, should I cheat on my taxes to provide for my family? Should I

let the truth if it would do more damage?

In the Work place _ should I take things without asking if no one notice? Should I go along the boss who

asks me to do something I dont feel right about? Should I rat out a co-worker?

In Politics - should I vote PTI or MLN? should the government recognize same sex marriage? should the

government provide free health care to every citizen?

Advancing technologies create new decisions and dilemmas can you think of examples

So it is irresponsible not to study ethics

So you need to have a framework to handle new ethical decisions and dilemmas that may arise

you need to have thought through the ethical decisions/dilemmas that currently exist

To have an opinion over an ethical issue, you first need to understand the issues involved

We do both the theory behind ethics, and the actual issue

Where Ethics Fit in College

As a field in its own right and As a field seeing other fields

Sciences, practical study, Humanities and basic sciences

Can ask what is the ethics of biology, what is the ethics of patient care, what is the ethics of business,

what is the ethics of religion

Ethical Climate

The surrounding climate of ideas how to live

The ethical climate shape

What we find acceptable and unacceptable

What we think is admirable or contemptible

How we evaluate when things are going well or badly

What is due to us, by whom, and for what reason?

Our emotional response, pride or shame, anger or gratitude, what can be forgiven opr not

Our standards of behavior

Our very oidentities

Features of our ethical climate

Seeking our rights not our good. We dont like to talk about our duties, obligations or personal behavior;

we think what we do or think in our private doesnt matter for the whole society (this is contrary to

Confucius, Plato, etc.)

Human as comparative animals We grade, evaluate and compare our behavior to others to justify

ourselves, and then we often expect others to adopt our preference because they are right (gossips,

reality, tv, soap, opera etc.)

Ethics in Publicthere - is public debate not just universities: health care debates, cartoonists, satirists,

novelists, plays, face book, new stories etc.

We value FreedomWe dont like being told what to do. People who disturb our equilibrium are

uncomfortable for us
