Explanation:

The word "ethics" is derived from the Greek

word ethos (character), and from the Latin word

'mores' (customs). Derived from the Greek word

"ethos", which means "way of living", ethics is

branch of philosophy that is concerned with

human conduct. It consists in a code of conduct

of human beings living in a society. Ethics

examines the rational justification for our moral

judgments; it studies what is morally right or

wrong, just or unjust. Together, they combine to

define how individuals choose to interact with

one another. In philosophy, ethics defines what

is good for the individual and for society and

establishes the nature of duties that people owe

to themselves and to one another. It aims at

individual good as well as social good, the good

of mankind as a whole.Ethics is an attempt to guide human conduct andit is also an attempt to help man in leading good

life by applying moral principles. Ethics refers

to well based 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 is related to

issues of propriety, rightness and wrongness.

What is right is ethical and what is wrong is

unethical. The words 'proper', fare' and 'just' are

also used in place of right 'and 'ethical'. If it is

ethical, it is right, proper, fair and just. Ethics is

matter of practical concern. It tries to determine

the good and right thing to do; choices regarding

right and wrong, good and evil; questions of

obligation and value. Ethics is to consider the

practice of doing right actions or what we may

call the art of living the good life.
