Being ethical.

[Biseinen]

Are you ethical? Ethics come to everyone on a daily basis I find. Being ethical is something which is explained through the way you do things and the reason behind the actions you do.

For example, if you steal bread for your family to starve, is that ethical? Is that right? In a sense, yes, it is right, but then the ethical side, you're stealing which can take an un-ethical view approach to this.

Opinions?

The loaf of bread was there as in fate, it was there from something other than just human life to preserve happyness, to help out that family.

I lead a life if ethics i guess, we all do.

But that brings it down to ethics again, was it right to steal that bread?

[benjamin]

ethics confuse me..

It was right as it's for the best, he didn't steal that bread just to make an evil profit, he stole it to make sure his family survived. He stole it not out of choice, out of love?

You are looking at this scenario in a 'Utilitarianism' ethical point of view, looking at the consequences of the situation and not the actual thing he did.

I'm taking Ethics for A-Level and it's pretty good and the lesson has picked up since the teacher stopped using a poor method to teach us.

I was going to take, Ethics, but I decided not too, I really wanted to though because the teacher was really intresting.

Basically Karl, you fancied the teacher ?

Well I wanted to take Philosophy and Ethics comes with it, so basically I'm getting 2 A-Levels for the price of one. Ethics is pretty interesting to read about the different concepts although alot of it comes down to pure opinions. However I prefer Philosophy myself and always have done before I took the subject because I like the stuff that is studied. You missed out cos Ethics isn't half bad

[Casanova]

it's one of those subjects that you could do in your sleep, because it involves something you do day-by-day sub-conciously. And i prefer philosophy too.
