ABSTRACT

Ethics can be defined as the discipline, often classified as a sub-discipline of philosophy, that is concerned with what is good and just for individuals, groups, organisations and society. The discipline investigates the nature of our well-being and happiness, the appropriate pathways to our prosperity, our obligations, and, related to all this, the rights that we owe to ourselves and to one another. In modern society, ethics defines how individuals, professionals, corporations and societies choose to interact with one another.
