Having discussed ethics in depth at the campus session yesterday I now realise that it is a very personal thing. Ethos means character. Ethical beliefs and values will be unique to every individual and it is the approaches and perceptions around ethics which will differ and change.
It is how we conduct ourselves on a daily basis. How we carry out our practises within our professions. The rules we follow due to obligation and those which we create for ourselves/students. This will influence how we treat and respect others.
Motivation for ethical values may come from a wide variety of sources, such as personal beliefs, morals and values, background, experience and situation. What is acceptable in one area or culture may not be ethically acceptable in another place. We all strive to contribute something to society and particular rules must be followed to maintain a social harmony. However ethics are how people perceive you and may change and vary over time.
