Importance Of Ethics In Life

VALUES are attitudes and beliefs about things we think are important in life.
ETHICS are the rules of personal behavior accepted by society.
ETHICS
Life is full of little choices. There is an old saying: “What is popular is not always right; what is right is not always popular.” We don’t always make the right choices or do the right thing. Mistakes are a normal part of living and to be expected. All people make mistakes; it’s part of living. When we make a mistake, we gain more self-awareness and, hopefully, learn a life’s lesson. It’s true! We can learn by our mistakes. What is more important, we can avoid some mistakes if we take the time to identify our personal values and ethics.
WHAT ARE VALUES AND ETHICS anyway?
They are not impressive

An honest person does not lie, cheat or steal, or try to achieve personal gain at the expense of others. It is never acceptable to break society’s code of conduct, or ethical standards, to achieve a personal value! Any individual who breaks society’s code of conduct, even if he doesn’t get caught, loses integrity and self-respect. Cheating on school or work assigned tasks may lesson personal stress for the present but will eventually return to haunt you. Just as positive behaviors and attitudes become a way of life so do negative behaviors and attitudes. Don’t fall into the trap of excusing away a breakdown of your ethical standards. An ethical person is a good citizen at home, at school or work, and in the community. The community is an individual’s neighborhood, town/city, school or workplace, state, nation, and the world. An ethical person is caring. He cares about people, the environment, our planet and his behavior supports society and our world. Personal ethics, school ethics, social ethics, computer ethics, workplace ethics are basically the same. Ethics are about the individual. Specialized groups or organizations generally follow the ethics of their leaders. Groups and organizations are made up of individuals.
