DEFINES ETHICS.

What ‘s Ethics ?

When discussing Ethics .One might say it is what is justly or fairly correct in conduct and moral thought that can lead obviously to the well being of man , or his happiness.

But can we talk about welfare without virtues ?

One cannot undermine the moral teaching in Ethics. In that compassion, a good behavior, loyalty, honesty, generosity, altruism, empathy are just few of the virtuous aspects that make of a person a decent, and worthy of respect .

Happiness or well being is the highest objective of moral thought and conduct, and the virtues are skills required to attain it according to Plato.

Happiness then remains something utopic, unreachable, and unattainable without a good conduct .Science as a discipline itself cannot be an achieved tract without a good, and a virtuous act.

Today much of our civilization depends on material prosperity, and luxurious and well-to-do possessions trying to uproot them into the conscience of man , and thereby persuading him that it is the sole road to happiness, and that in the lack of such necessities the well – being of man is lost .

But Ethics itself does not rest on simple temporary possession, or fading materials that deteriorate with time.

Ethics is a much larger concept that lies on creating a culture based on moral and ethical wisdom.Teaching man that the real possession resides in the ingrained virtues inside man , and not his real estate , or material luxuries.

Ethics is about building a society that gifts man with love and not wealth, with truth and not fame. Then one might say that the secret of happiness of man hides in establishing an equilibrium between his thoughts, his possessions, and his actions There can never be a harmony in case where man does not privilege his behavior, and his conduct with his surrounding, and lessen his worries about his possessions, for the questions of being are primordial, and those which are concerned with his having are of a much less importance.
