Ethical Problem

You have only with mother,
she has a boyfrined who mistreats them,
if you have a chance to kill her, would you do it ?  

DEFINITION OF ETHICS

In my opinion ethics is dedicated to analyze the behavior of a person, morality and find 
a way to judge, and finally decideor qualify if it is wrong or goo, qualified by some rules established 
in a society, also the ethics is responsible for determing how is that the members will act in a society
where the members act morally and ethically, and keep the order of a society endorsed by the ethics

Ethics: In my opinion Ethics is the moral side of each person. The ethics works on the people to decide what is good or not. Also the ethics involves every person in the society because, we have learned this behaviour throught the years with the perspective of others.

Taking the point of view of other people, we can say that moral and ethics are not the same thing, this has sense in the thing of being moral is to decide what is good or not and the Ethics is the way we use the moral to mix our comportments

What is the Ethics from my poitn of view

Since the time of grecian the people as platon or sócrates begin to think about the reflexions of behavior and the judgment of themselves. this Ethics is in a short definition a road to happiness or peace with yourself.
Today, it is a time of the people conexions because the technology unites us worldwide, this take us to evolutions of ethics, finally everyone know the Ethics as  the judgment to other person about any action it is well or bad from his point of view.

Ethics Definition

Ethics for me means acting well, but it is very difficult because there is too much variety of culture today,what is good for semeone is not for semeone else, it is complicated the
"acting well".
But for me it is to make people fell important, and that my actions in any situation do not cause me remorse

Ethical dilemma

Ethics definition

The ethic is the human behavior study, but only "good behavior", although the good or bad are value judments an I think that is a mistake to judge other persons fot this.

In the world there are many cultures and "correct behavior" depends of the differents ideas, but is neccesary that we have a general idea about ethics for the correct functionally of the society. 

Ethic Dilemma

If i am losing the semmester by an important subject of your career and you have the opportunity for pay the "final", ¿would you pay? or ¿what else would you do

Ethics Definition

Are principles than say, what is right and what is wrong as well can be behaviors, values, than help to determine a style life of a person. The ethic depend of the context because we cant judge a person of another culture and also depends of our childhood that is very important to act of certain way and have our own perspective of ethics

Ethics definition

from my point of view, ethics is the form like we see the world and like we appropiate of the choices that it happens in this and unconsciously we choose that is "right" or "wrong", although without knowing it, also we are influenced by the social environment in this choices.

Ethics Definition

In my opinion the ethics are the values, principles and ideas that help to distinguish between good and evil

Ethical dilemma

Your mom its about to die so as your grandma and you have the chance to save JUST one of them.

Who would you save?

In my opinion ethics are those principles that each person define inside of his or her mind.
The objective with those principles is to create a kind of guide for life that let you know if you are doing something good or not.
I think that the principles are made of values and we build them depending of the next characteristics:

• FAMILY: Principles depend of the family, because some families give more importance to some acts than other for that reason the values changes and finally the principles change.
• CONTEXT: Because the society start defining what is better for the most people and that give us a perspective about what is good or not.
• OWN PERSPECTIVE: In this step, our ethic is not in function of our family and the society, is in function of ourselves because we also have the possibility to build and  determinate what is good or not depending of our judgment.

ethics definition

Ethics is global meaning and at the same time it doesn’t, it’s hard to explain because it means that you have to do the right thing, but, thanks to our minds, every single person don’t have the same definition of “right or good” depending on everyone experience and situation this definition can change, so not everyone have the same thoughts on what’s good or wrong.

Situation

If you go to a bank to collect a check of 65 million and the cashier gives you 5 million more, but you only realize this when you arrived at your home. Do you know that she would have to pay for it, would you return them or not?

State punishment and death penalty

Natalia Castrillón and I choose the state punishment and death penalty topic.

Situation

You go in the car driving on a lonely road and run over a cyclist and the blow was so strong that it does not survive, you have the possibility of running away because nobody would know that it was you and you would not be judged or take responsibility for the matter and assume the consequences. What would you do?

Ethics definition

I think that ethics is the set of values, behaviors and principles of each human being that help to determine their way of acting in relation to life and also how their development as a person in society will be.

Ethics definition

I think that Ethics is the way to be that each person forges itself. Is the character of each individual and its own rules or principles. What he sees as bad or good.

Cloning

We, Nicolás and I, Eimmy Herrera, choose the cloning topic.

Ethics definition

I consider that ethics is a word that is related to morality. for me it is like the set of principles by which each person is guided internally to know what is good or bad, for that reason it is very relative.

ETHICS DEFNITION

DEFINITION OF ETHICS.

Ethics are the internal rules, that you follow to be a better person.
For example: It is not ethical to cheat in your exam, but is ethical to be honest with your knowledge.

Ethics' Definition

Ethics is a hard concept to grasp, because we mostly believe that it means that you have to do the "right thing" but we fail to realize that it has a different meaning for everyone, and the reason to why a lot of damage has been done in the past is mostly because the people who is doing it think that it is the “right thing”. So, for me being ethical means that your actions and words should not harm the other, the social environment or yourself given the case, being aware of the possible consequences that could take place after your actions and trying to do what's best for everyone; and at the end ethics it’s highly connected to morals, at least from my point of view.

ETHICAL DILEMMA

Your best friend is pregnant, but she does not know who is the father, wants to abort, without telling his parents. In a clinic colloquially called "garage clinic", is underage and can have complications. What would you do?
