The definition of ethics according to google is the moral principles that govern a persons or groups behavior. Ethics basically is the rules we set for ourselves so we can sleep at night, the rules we live by or our moral code. A person’s ethical stand point is very flexible and can change from one situation to another. Unlike “Law” which is ethics more rigid sibling who sees life in black and white, right and wrong. Ethics sees the world in a whole bunch of different shades of gray. For example take a flower shop and a man buying flowers for three different women constantly at the same time, you personally knowing one of them? What do you do, do you just sell the flowers and not even bat an eye? What if the man is your sister’s boyfriend? What if one of the women is an acquaintance and you know she is about to give everything up for this guy? What if the women is already married? Already my own personal ethical stand point changed a few times just thinking about it. This is what I would do if I had to deal with the flower shop player.
In this situation one of the women in the man’s flower sending list is my own sister. Meaning this involves me personally, my family, and my sister’s perceived boyfriend. I could simply let it go since it is not my business, I could confront the boyfriend and ask what’s going on, or I could confound my sister about what’s happening. I simply believe in the principle of Beneficence which means doing good for others whether it be to remove
