ETHICS AND MORALITY -CAN’T BE TAUGHT IN CLASSROOMS

The ethics and moral of a person can be seen and can be defined by his action and values with which he lives in society. Very often the moral is based on the lesson which he learns from society.

Morals are the guidelines that one follows in his professionals as well as in personal life whereas Ethics are the standard of conduct expected by the group of society from which one belongs and ethics takes care of it. These values and principles decide or provide a correct analysis of one’s way of thinking and the idea he implements while solving the problems of society or the way he looks at the problems of society as a whole.

Nowadays as society is getting modernized these topics are getting omitted in some manner and to retain them in society many educational institutes have started including them in their courses and curricula to teach them to the youth. 

 

SOCIETY- the best teacher of ethics and morals.

Ethics and morality, no one learns it in any book, these values and principles get taught by society itself. In a civilized society, they have their set of moral rules those guides the people action and behaviour, it taught that how they ought to conduct themselves. These testaments not only get applied to the action of people but to their attitudes and motive also. Every society has its own different set of moral rules.

 

In childhood before admitting a kid to formal school education, the family teaches that kind those ethics and moral values those are supposed to be required in his house, school, and in society too. Afterward, school plays a very huge role in shaping up a person’s mind worldwide view and ways of looking toward the happening of society around him.

 

Although it is all impact of social values, he learned to take him forward in giving shape to the standards and code of ethics. Then whatever decision he takes, whatever option he chooses when it becomes the matter of societies wellbeing, then it all shows what he had learned from the community and in what kind of community he comes from.

Because, men, is a social animal and he is supposed to learn the things, taught to him by the society and the way it works.

Now talking about the classroom knowledge of ethics and morality so it only taught theoretical knowledge and understanding but ultimately the practical and implementable knowledge gets taught by the society itself.

Many management colleges have come up with courses on ethics because they believe that in professional life, forces and pressure of the market make a person easily forget his moral values for small gains.

It is not easy to change a person’s moral build-up just by teaching dozens of courses in the classroom unless they are exposed and embolden to implement the knowledge in a practical way out in society. Until they are given that chance and initiative to get involved in social issues and instructed to use their theoretical knowledge and understanding in solving the problems.

 

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PRESENT SCENARIO?

 Earlier these five principles of American ethicist were common to all the society worldwide. DO NOT HARM; MAKE THINGS BETTER; RESPECT OTHERS; BE FAIR; BE LOVING.

But today it is always greeted that people are losing the importance of social ethics and moral values and they are not getting taken seriously as they were earlier because of this fast-developing world and because of this process of modernization.

In today's scenario, everyone is having competition among them and everyone have longing to win by hook or by crook, and in this highly competitive market, it is forcing everyone to set aside their morals and ethics and take a step forward toward greed and jealousy.                                                                                             

As in this material world if one decided to work outside the rules and values then the gains afterward are manifold, so this temptation of setting morals and values aside gets agitated in high flame. Which eventually leads to number of corruption cases, murders, rape, and terrorism.

 

ROLE CORPORATE SECTOR IS PLAYING?

Many corporate houses are carrying this corporate social responsibility program for the betterment of society and to embrace the surrounding of their corporate houses also. They have taken up CSR as an integral part of their business policy as a symbol of responsibility toward society.

CSR is a process with the aim to give a positive impact through performing certain activities on the environment, consumers, society, and all other members of the surrounding.
