1st paragraph

Ethics is indeed an area of knowledge that is indispensable for any human society. To add to this, morality goes hand in hand with ethics. As Agapay stated, “without moral perception, man is only an animal. Without morality, man as a rational [and free] being is a failure”.

2nd paragraph

The definition of ethics varies as it is used on different fields of study. Philosophically speaking, ethics is defined as the practical science of the morality of human act or conduct and of the good life. As a science, ethics is a body of knowledge systematically arranged and presented in such a manner that it arrives at its conclusion coherently and logically. It asks certain fundamental questions such as “What constitutes the good life for humans?”, “What is the basis or standard by which human actions can be judged as good or bad,right or wrong?”, and “What makes good-good and what makes wrong-wrong?

3rd paragraph

As mentioned, ethics as a philosophical discipline, deals with the ultimate principles and truth concerning the morality of human conduct through the use of human reason alone.These principles provide man the basis or standard by which he must conduct his life. Hence, ethics deals with the study of the right conduct of man.

4th paragraph

With the definition of ethics in mind, it is now imperative to know the importance of ethics as well as morality. The question of what kind of life should man ought to live as a free and rational being has preoccupied some of the greatest minds in history. Thus as humans, we will forever pursue the “good life”.

5th paragraph

The idea of what is good,evil,right, and wrong, varies from person to person,era to era, generation to generation, and society to society as we all perceive things differently. But despite our varying points of view, these ideas have played a dominant theme on religion,culture, and societies throughout human history. We can thus say that ethics and morality have served as the foundations for human society since time immemorial.

6th paragraph

Without ethics or at least a sense of morality, of what’s good or bad in relation to their conduct and behavior, people and society would naturally and expectedly deteriorate. When the moral foundation of a nation is shaken, and at the brink of collapse, society itself, as its very core , is also threatened-as to its very existence.
