The Ethical Person
The ethical person changes how they respond to each situation even though their principles may stay the same; their application of their principles is inconsistent and varies depending on the situation.
1. Ethics can change depending on the context of the situation, are very FLEXIBLE. They do not change from hospital to hospital for an instance, but they are different than the ethics of the legal profession.
2. Are generally standards provided by groups, cultural, institutions that a individual may belong too.
3. The ethical person acts the way they do because society says that is the right thing to do.
4. Ethics emphasize the responsibility and ability of an individual to come to her own conclusions through reasoning, to be the judge of which principles are relevant in a particular case.
5. The ethical man knows what is right; but decides whether or not they should make the right decision.
