The Ethics As Reviews



Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of phylosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. As a branch of philosophy, ethics investigates the questions "What is the best way for people to live?" and "What action are right or wrong in particular circumstances?" In practice, ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality, by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice justice and crime. As a field of intellectual enquiry, moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory.
Ethics (Ancient Greek: "ethikos", is meaning "arising from habit") is a something where and how the main branch of philosophy that studies the value or quality becomes a study on standards and moral judgments. Ethics includes the analysis and application of the concept like right, wrong, good, bad, and responsibility. St. John of Damascus (7th century AD) put ethics in the study of practical philosophy (practical philosophy). Ethics begins when people reflect on the elements of ethical opinions of our spontaneous. The need for reflection that we will feel, partly because of ethical opinion we are not infrequently different from the opinions of others. That's necessary ethical, that to find out what should be done by humans.
Methodologically, not every case assess the actions can be regarded as ethical. Ethics requires a critical attitude, methodical, and systematic reflection. That's why ethics is a science. As a science, the object of ethics is human behavior. However, unlike other sciences are also examining human behavior, ethics has a normative standpoint. That ethics viewed from the point of good and bad to human actions. Ethics is divided into three main parts: meta-ethics (study of the concept of ethics), normative ethics (the study of ethical value determination), and applied ethics (study of the use of ethical values).

PRINCIPLES OF ETHICS
In the history of human civilization since the fourth century BC thinkers have tried to define the various shades of ethical foundation to guide social life. Thinkers have identified at least there are hundreds of ideas the great (great ideas). The whole idea or the grand idea can be summarized into six principles that are an important cornerstone of ethics, namely beauty, equality, kindness, justice, freedom, and truth.
1.      Principle of Beauty
This principle underlies everything that includes the enjoyment of pleasure to beauty. Based on this principle, people pay attention to the values ​​of beauty and want to show something wonderful in his behavior. For example in dress, spatial planning, and so making it more eager to work.
           2.      The principle of Equation
Every human being by nature have rights and responsibilities are the same, so it appears the demand to equality between men and women, racial equality and equality in various other fields. This principle underlies behavior diskrminatif on any basis.
           3.      Principle of Goodness
This principle underlies the behavior of individuals to always seek to do good in their interaction with their environment. This principle is usually respect of human values ​​such as respect- respect, compassion, helping others, and so forth. Humans by nature always want to do good, because by doing good he will be accepted by the environment. Governance and service provided to the public in fact aims to create the good of society.
           4.      Principles of Justice
Fixed and eternal willingness to give everyone what they should get. Therefore, this principle underlies a person to act in a fair and proportionate and do not take anything into the rights of others.
           5.      The principle of Freedom
As the freedom of individuals to act or not act according to his own choice. In the principle of life and human rights, every human being has the right to do things according to his own will does not damage or interfere with the rights of others. Therefore, every freedom should be accompanied by responsibility so that people do not take action arbitrarily to others. For that individual freedom here interpreted as:
• the ability to do something or make a selection.
• capabilities that allow humans to melaksana-kan these choices.
• the ability to account for his actions.
           6.      Principles of Truth
Truth is usually used in the logic of science that emerged from the ideas of logical / rational. Truth must be proven and shown that the truth can be believed by the individual and society. Not every truth can be accepted as true if it has not been proven.
All the principles that have been described it is a basic precondition in the development of ethical values ​​or code of conduct in relations between individuals, individuals with society, government, and so on. Ethics is structured as a rule of law that will regulate people's lives, communities, organizations, government agencies, and employees should really be able to ensure the creation of beauty, equality, kindness, justice, freedom, and truth for everyone.
      1. Ethics Teleology
Teleology is derived from the Greek telos which means purpose. In terms of measuring the merits of an action that is based on the objectives to be achieved, or by the impact of the actions which have been performed. In teleology tori there are two streams, namely.
• ethical egoism: The core view of selfishness is the act of every person basically aims to pursue personal interests and promote yourself.
Example: Anto who always worked hard in the company A to pursue the highest position.
• Utilitarianism: Derived from the Latin utilis which has a useful meaning. According to this theory, an act has a good sense if you bring benefit to the whole community (The greatest happiness of the greatest number).
Example: Andi in his village to build a cooperative to help some people in his village
      2. Deontology
Deontology comes from the Greek deon which means obligations. If there is a question "Why is this good deed and that action must be rejected as bad?". Then Deontology will answer "because the first act is our obligation and arena both prohibited acts". Deontological approach has been accepted by religion and is one of the important ethical theories.
Example: Andi Moslem worship must pass the appropriate teaching.
      3. Theory of Rights
In the current moral thought, the theory of rights is the most widely used approach to evaluate the merits of an act or behavior. The theory of this right is an aspect of deontological theory as it relates to liability. Rights based on human dignity and the dignity of all human beings are equal. Therefore, the right fits perfectly with the atmosphere of democratic thought.
Example: An employee who receives a salary every month as her rights
      4. Theory of Virtue (Virtue)
In the theory of the virtues looking attitude or character of a person. The virtues can be defined as the disposition of the character that has been acquired someone and allowing someone to behave morally.
example:
• Wisdom: A corporate leader must be wise to take decisions in the enterprise
• Justice: Parents who have two children, they should be able to fairly treat their children so that there is no envy
• Hardworking: Andi working hard to achieve its goals
• The good life: Andi the Islamic religion should have a good life wherever located.
Ethical egoism is the normative ethical position that moral agents ought to do what is in their own self-interest. It differs from pyschological egoism,  which claims that people can only act in their self-interest. Ethical egoism also differs from rational egoism, which holds that it is rational to act in one's self-interest. Ethical egoism holds that actions whose consequences will benefit the doer can be considered ethical.
Ethical egoism contrasts with ethical altruism, which holds that moral agents have an obligation to help others. Egoism and altruism both contrast with ethical utilitarianism, which holds that a moral agent should treat one's self (also known as the subject) with no higher regard than one has for others (as egoism does, by elevating self-interests and "the self" to a status not granted to others). But it also holds that one should not (as altruism does) sacrifice one's own interests to help others' interests, so long as one's own interests (i.e. one's own desires or well-being) are substantially equivalent to the others' interests and well-being. Egoism, utilitarianism, and altruism are all forms of consequentialism, but egoism and altruism contrast with utilitarianism, in that egoism and altruism are both agent-focused forms of consequentialism  (i.e. subject-focused orsubjective). However, utilitarianism is held to be agent-neutral (i.e. objective and impartial): it does not treat the subject's (i.e. the self's, i.e. the moral "agent's") own interests as being more or less important than the interests, desires, or well-being of others.
Ethical egoism does not, however, require moral agents to harm the interests and well-being of others when making moral deliberation; e.g. what is in an agent's self-interest may be incidentally detrimental, beneficial, or neutral in its effect on others. individualism allows for others' interest and well-being to be disregarded or not, as long as what is chosen is efficacious in satisfying the self-interest of the agent. Nor does ethical egoism necessarily entail that, in pursuing self-interest, one ought always to do what one wants to do; e.g. in the long term, the fulfillment of short-term desires may prove detrimental to the self. Fleeting pleasure, then, takes a back seat to protracted eudaimonia. In the words ofJames Rachels, "Ethical egoism [...] endorses selfishness, but it doesn't endorse foolishness."
Ethical egoism is often used as the philosophical basis for support of right-libertarianism and individualist anarchism. These are political positions based partly on a belief that individuals should not coercively prevent others from exercising freedom of action.
Egoism is a motivation to maintain and improve the view that only benefit themselves. Egoism means putting yourself in the middle of the goal and do not care about the suffering of others, including his beloved or who is considered a close friend. Another term is "selfish". The opposite of selfishness is altruism.
It is closely related to narcissism, or "love yourself," and the tendency may be to talk or write about themselves with a sense of arrogant and length.
