Ethics is a rational understanding of right and wrong that outlines what people should and should not do in terms of fairness, virtues, obligations, and rights. It is vital to review our standards on a regular basis to ensure that they are realistic. Ethics should be a never-ending struggle within our own moral convictions to make us better people all around. Some critical thinking skills for ethics may be prone to relativism or universal to religious beliefs. Where relativist opinions on what is right or wrong vary from person to person. Moral value is discovered rather than created, according to universalists. Other examples from our classes were a utilitarian who believed that an act is moral if it results in a greater balance of joy over misery. Intuitionists think that core ethical principles are not found in reason or feelings, but in a particular power that connects humans to a reservoir of intuition. It is intuition that guides us in determining whether something is right or incorrect. Rather than beginning with universal standards, care ethicists believe that morality begins at home. Natural appetites are wicked, according to Greek ethics, and humanity can only transcend beyond evil tendencies through reason. And there is the saying, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Some of these ethical topics have been used by me. As a single parent of two, for example, I extensively use the term "care ethics." Concern for how people feel, react, and proceed comes first to me. In addition, my religious beliefs serve as a foundation for my ethical values. Following the commandments and treating others the way you want to be treated. A person's upbringing has an impact on their morals and ethical understanding and application. I strive to instill in my children on a regular basis. Other ethical convictions, according to Kant, are described by reason. Truth, Kant thought, is discovered through reason rather than ethical ideals that we create or choose. Hume, on the other hand, argued that reason cannot provide ethical truths, and that ethical ideas are determined by emotion and passion. Where W.D. Ross felt that ethical theory should not be mixed up with and moral speculation should be avoided. One knows what is correct and what is incorrect. In an analogy based on intuition, Ross' concept. Personally, I agree with Hume's viewpoint. Where ethics meets emotion, feelings, and the wants and needs of oneself and others. That has been my foundation in growing up to be a better person, to treat others with respect, to work hard, and to be noticed by others. In addition, I use Ross' concept of intuition in my life to learn and adapt to new situations. This could also mean having a conscience or having hunches. With that in mind, I believe that living ethically is not difficult. Ethics are like the rules of the game, and the fundamentals of playing the game. You can have both down pat, execute every play correctly, following all the rules, and thunder rolls and lightning strikes and your game is called.
