Ethical Behavior and Social Responsibility
Ethical Behavior
Ethical behavior that conforms to accepted professional standards of conduct. It is also the fundamental principles that
defines values and determines moral duty and obligation.
Ethical Behaviour is Business ethics is a form of applied ethics that
examines ethical rules and principles within a commercial context; the
various moral or ethical problems that can arise in a business setting; and
any special duties or obligations that apply to persons who are engaged in
commerce. Generally speaking business ethics is a normative discipline
whereby particular ethical standards are assumed and then applied. It
makes specific !udgments about what is right or wrong which is to say it
makes claims about what ought to be done or what ought not to be done.
"hile there are some exceptions business ethicists are usually less
concerned with the foundations of ethics #metaethics$ or with !ustifying
the most basic ethical principles and are more concerned with practical
problems and applications and any specific duties that might apply to
business relationships.
Ethical Behavior and Social Responsibility
In ethics moral responsibility is primarily the responsibility related to actions and
their conse%uences in social relations. It generally concerns the harm caused to an
individual a group or the entire society by the actions or inactions of another
individual group or entire society. &his is the mechanism by which blame can be
placed and influences many important social constructs such as prosecution under
the legal system.
&he term often refers to a system of principles and !udgments shared by cultural
religious and philosophical concepts and beliefs by which humans sub!ectively
determine whether given actions are right or wrong. &hese concepts and beliefs are often generali'ed and codified by a
culture or group and thus serve to regulate the behavior of its members. (onformity to such codification may also be
called morality and the group may depend on widespread conformity to such codes for its continued existence. ) *moral*
may be a particular principle #in the summari'ed form$ as applied in a given situation.
&he term also appears in the discussion of sub!ects such as determinism and other world views that deny free will since
without such freedom it is difficult to be blamed for one+s actions and without this moral responsibility the nature of
punishment and ethics comes into %uestion.
