A Particular System of Principles
Social Ethics Report
Etymology of Social From Middle French social, from Latin sociālis (“of or belonging to a companion or companionship or association, social”),from socius (“a companion,fellow,partner,associate, ally”), from sequor (“follow”).
Meaning "living or liking to live with others, disposed to friendly intercourse"
Etymology of Ethics
The word ethics come from the Greek word “ethos” which means custom.
The Latin word for ethics is “mos”, from which “moral” and “morality” have sprung
Ethics The science of human duty; the body of rules of duty drawn from this science; a particular system of principles and rules concerting duty, whether true or false; rules of practice in respect to a single class of human actions; as, political or social ethics; medical ethics.
Social Ethics Social ethics are the philosophical or moral principles that, in one way or another, represent the collective experience of people and cultures.
This sort of ethics often acts as a sort of “code of conduct” that governs what is and is not acceptable, as well as providing a framework for ensuring that all members of the community are cared for. Standard ethics are typically driven by individual morals that determine right or wrong.
Within a society, the focus is usually more on what may be considered appropriate behavior for people as a whole. People perceive things differently, however, and various cultures share often wildly opposing beliefs; as such, what is deemed “right” for one group may not necessarily be consistent universally — and defining social ethics as an absolute is often very difficult.
Social Ethics Defined Social ethics are the set of rules—often unwritten—that is accepted by a society on what is and is not appropriate. These are not laws to be obeyed, rather they are principles to be applied to different situations to help you make a proper decision based on what society deems appropriate.
