VALUES AND ETHIC

Values

A personal and/or cultural value is an absolute or relative ethical value, the assumption of which can be the basis for ethical action. A value system is a set of consistent values and measures. A principle value is a foundation upon which other values and measures of integrity are based. Those values which are not physiologically determined and normally considered objective, such as a desire to avoid physical pain, seek pleasure, etc., are considered subjective, vary across individuals and cultures and are in many ways aligned with belief and belief systems. Types of values include ethical/moral values, doctrinal/ideological (religious, political) values, social values, and aesthetic values. It is debated whether some values which are not clearly physiologically determined are intrinsic such as altruism and whether some such as acquisitiveness should be valued as vices or virtues. Values have typically been studied in sociology; anthropology; social psychology; moral philosophy and business ethics.

Values: are something that is not objective, each person use their values in a different way than the other ones, values make persons act in a certainly way when they are facing different situations. Is supposed that we learn our values in our homes or at school but nowadays children learn values from television and internet too so we have to care about what they see or do. Values are something more personal

Ethics

 also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality—that is, concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice, etc.

Ethic: I think it’s dictated by the society, it’s not a personal thing. It has to do with moral philosophy and it try to determinate what’s good or evil, good or wrong, it’s all about how we have to act on society, what we have to do and tell us what kind of behavior we most have.
