Ethics, Leadership, and Human Behavior
Abstract
Ethics are individual beliefs, personal, social, and professional rules and guidelines that people live by. The environment, a person is raised in, will establish the ethical foundation of that person. Webster's dictionary defines ethics as "the whole field of morals, duties, values, and virtues - our attempts to order human conduct toward the right and the good." The dictionary also defines morals as "the rules and duties that govern our behavior as persons to person (gentleness, compassion, fidelity, fairness)," and values as "states of affairs that are desired by and for people and that we want to increase (health, wealth, freedom, happiness, human rights)." Personal rules and guidelines that an individual establishes for themselves and lives by, will decide what is ethical and what is not ethical to that individual. People are different in many ways. No one person will have the same views on morality, values, or ethics.
