Mendoza, Camille Reyes, Glydel Ethics Both Sociology Ethics and Sociology
Sociology gives factual knowledge of
social relations while Ethics ideals. Ethics decides the good and bad in social conventions, habits, traditions and the like. In this case, Sociology and Ethics are related but do not coincide. Ethics and Sociology
Sociology is comparatively theoretical study
while Ethics very much affects our practical life. Ethics tries to seek the ultimate good and its light makes judgements concerning virtues, duties, good and bad in social institutions, conventions, authority, and economic and political laws and so much more. Sociology gives analyzation of different social phenomena at different level of society at different perspectives. Ethics and Sociology
Sociology studies man as a
member of the society. Ethics studies man as a responsible individual having freedom of will, knowledge to know good from evil and free choice to do whats right and just. Ethics and Sociology
Sociology is an objective science while
Ethics is a normative science. Sociology is methodological.It is more on claims, method and results. Ethics deals with type of information that is developed, presented, or interpreted based on an assumed, usually unstated, preference for a particular policy or class of policies. Ethics and Sociology
Both are part of Mans life.
Ethics scope includes the idea of good and bad. Doing good will make you part of society. No man can live not being part of anything or not belonging in one group in the society. Ethics and Sociology
Both are dependent with one another.
Ethics is dependent upon sociology for the description of ultimate good in relation with society. Ethics is concerned with the conduct of the individual. Social Science studies social habits, conventions and those institutions which impress man. Thus Ethics depends upon Sociology and vice versa. Ethics and Sociology
Both are mutually
complimentary sciences. Ethics present those ideals in the light of which social facts are evaluated. Sociology studies ethical ideals in the form of facts and describe the conditions of society is to be understood. Ethics and Sociology
The method of Ethics is teleological
while sociologys methods are historical, scientific and empirical. Sociology looks into cause and effect relation. It shows studies external behavior of man.Ethics give their place in the world and comparing them to ultimate good, describe ethical facts. It also emphasize in the internal aspect of man In Sidgwicks words, We only know the individual man as a member of some society, what we call his virtues are chiefly exhibited in his dealings with his fellows and his most prominent pleasures are derived from inter course with them, thus it is a paradox to maintain that mans highest good is independent of his social relations or of the constitution and condition of the community of which he forms a part. Hays writes that man does not do good acts because God wants such acts or that they are essential for living in society but rather because society accepts them as good and the ethical thoughts related to such conduct are inherent in social institutions. Corne Jo maintains that what is good is decided by mass experience. Anybody is good in comparison with others. Therefore, goodness is a social attention. References
