People usually use the word 'ethics' without much of the knowledge of what this word really means. I tried to ask different persons what idea they have in mind about ethics. Other's reaction was, "Huh? Jak amu.." They don't have any background about it, or perhaps, it's their first time to encounter such word. Nevertheless, most of them, excluding those who didn't give any significant answer, said one thing "it's about what is right and what is wrong?" You might ask,why does it end with a question mark? It's simply because it's not a statement. They uttered their answer with a rising intonation and a question mark to end it. They're not sure of what ethics is.
What really is ethics? Ethics is the study and philosophy of human conduct with emphasis of the determination of right and wrong. We can determine what's right and wrong, can't we? Ethics also focuses on the care for the soul. Anything that contaminates the soul is unethical. I have this list which distinguishes what is ethical or unethical in my own perception.
These are the following:
1. Thou shalt not put a person to shame or out of grace.
~ I personally think that embarrassing other people is such an unethical action. If you were in their shoes, would you feel enlightened? Definitely not, right?Before you put others to shame, think before throwing a stone.
2. Thou shalt not implement a law that causes other people's death.
~ I'm really disgusted with the "Silya Elektrika" thing. It's an immoral implementation of the government It's not ethical to put the decision in their hands whether a person lives or not based on the things they've done. People deserve to have second chances, right? I do believe in that because every person no matter how bad he could be, do have a good side inside of him.
Ethics may be still a blur for other people, however, I know all of us have a personal code of ethics.
That's true that some people don't know the "real" meaning of ethics. I personally agree with your ethics 1. Because of too much happiness they are so insensitive. They don't know the feeling of the person being embarrass in front of many people.
