But It does exist.
becomes complicated to talk about.
meant to vigourously follow guidelines.
lawers" "what's ethics", "what we are allowed to do"
non-lawers: look inside, what they believe in, not believe in.
ethics are not a universal, objective guideline.
different sorts of ethics:
"ends justifies the means" ethic
professional/rule ethics (codes of ethic, professions and agencies)
social-contract ethics:
community context needed to survive, group-oriented, commmunity are moral bodies determining ground-rules, "duty and obligation" of individuals, what is best for the common good is the basis for the rule-making
personalistic ethics:
where rightness of actions is determined by one conscience. one's belief system is detemined by a lot of factor: way he was raised, what he reads, his religion...
"ends justifies the means for the greater good" kind of ethics, problems with this?
principles mashes and becomes very confuse, and not acting in a given situaation may be the good thing to do.
so easy to challenge the ethic of someone else.
ability to "reflect back" on a situation.
about tribes: the way tribes work, bound by certain commune stuff, they follow tribesman because of shared culture and PROTECTION instinct, traditional concept of protection. cultural concept: individualistic (West), communal (Africa). "unspoken social contract". follow the leader = everyone will be taken care of (conservative, organic concept of community).
challenges to "end justifies the mean"
difficulty of finding means to outcome, to measure it, the short-term/long-term gains paradox
About reading for today:
What is interesting is that it is put in a context that is applicable and applied.
For thursday:
detemine who we want to speak to, and meet.
