Ethics is about how we live our lives. It includes thoughts about our values, our duties, and the consequences of our actions for others. Ethics is not just about how people do treat each other, but also about how they ought to act. We face ethical issues all the time in day-to-day life in relation to family and friends, our community and nation, as well as in relation to global and environmental factors. Ethics is about the responsibility that you have for the decisions that you make and the actions that you perform.
