I'm Professor Paul Tempone And today, we will deal with a very interesting subject and important to be debated, especially at this time that our country is going through There are many scandals, political differences and social differences and everything leads us to reflect on the theme We will start our reflections discussing the values, especially those that lead to human behavior. But first, let's think about some issues why people act in a certain way and not another? some actions are reprehensible to his view?
his conduct, which follows principles and values? You certainly must have heard things like this is a "lack of ethics" "That person has no ethical" "The congressional ethics committee will review the position of parliamentary" "The medical code of ethics does not allow this kind of professional attitude" I believe you've discovered what the subject of today's lesson very well today we'll talk, or talk about ethics! Well, we could here to list a multitude of positions with respect to the meaning of the word ethics there are several possibilities for the understanding of ethics also known as the philosophy of morals and customs we understand and build together therefore, the first question is What is ethics?
What some Greek philosophers say about ethics Socrates, thinking about human behavior He analyzed that who is right and good whether man or woman is happy, and unfair, unhappy. It is not possible to happen good man some harm, either in life or in death. their gods are concerned.
Already Plato, his disciple He noted that what destroys us is injustice, disproportionate and unreason. Justice is, in the polis, reflecting the order and harmony of the universe. For justice, we like the who is invisible, divine, immortal and wise and Aristotle concluded that society is a kind of community, and every community is formed with a view to achieving some good it is clear that the most important of all and completes all other families and villages is aimed at the most important of all goods.
It is political community. Etymology of the Word. Well, we have seen some definitions of the Greek philosophers refers to what is ethics Now let us understand the etymology of the word the etymology of the word, according to Marilena Chaui ethics word of Greek origin, but vocalismos with different, or two words of the same root assumes in each, particular meanings see: Ethos means custom, usage, habit and the verb eíotha have custom, have habit Ethos refers to customary.
Ethos, meaning character way of being a person. Character, temperament, natural dispositions of a person according to his body and soul. Someone usual, according to its nature êthos is treated by ethics, which studies the actions and human passions, according to the character or natural character of human beings Okay, now we go to a definition a bit simpler This definition is in the book "Philosophizing" by Professor Maria Lucia Arruda Spider She says the following: Ethics, or moral philosophy, is a reflection on the notions and the principles that underlie the moral life then she also says, "Morality is the set of rules that determines the behavior of individuals in a social group.
Very well, the training was already evident etymology of the two words. Let's move our conversation to a more practical size We will try to position the ethics and morality in everyday view. For this, I have a question: What is the difference between ethics and morals?
Very well, let's see if I can help. Ethics has to do with what one wants for his own life, their aspirations, where want to go, and how you want to reach your goal. Already the moral binds my actions to the people with whom I live socially.
the rules that are transmitted are created, or by oral or in writing. So we can see there Moral that is closer to the rules, while ethics, approaches the philosophical reflection. What is an amoral attitude?
Well, now we go to a new question: What is an amoral attitude? It's simple. As a moral person unblemished is your moral, amoral individual is one that is located out of context, where the rules of convicência They were created.
Either through ignorance, or indifference. Different, immoral has a sense of conduct or doctrine which contradicts the moral rule. It is a dishonest.
A libertine. The news, every day inundate society with scandals, illegal situations involving state enterprises and traded with political parties and governments. These scandals have repercussions even in the international press.
The question now is: As these companies meet their statutes? They have a code of ethics? What part of ethics studies the ethical codes?
deontology Have you ever heard of Ethics? The word ethics comes from the Greek Deon, which means: Duty. What is required.
Ethics is the professional ethics, the treaty standards and duties, adopted by certain profession. The ethics code very use Duty verb, in the imperative. The professional should behave this or that way.
The Ethics, then, is the application of ethics and moral in day to day use. There is a hierarchy of these principles? Very well, From all that we saw, ethics and morals, and ethics how it is organized?
who is subordinate to whom? there is a hierarchy of these principles? These rules, these standards.
Let's see it There is a hierarchy of principles on ethics? The universe of principles of ethics It has a general basis, in conditions reflective of the human being. However, universal.
Passes through practical bases or customs, and then reach the most restricted codes, or normal, targeting independent classes for each segment of society. Lustrativamente, it is assumed that ethics in a broader circle elaborates moral principles, Moral, more specifically, sets the Ethics applied to human behavior, and social. Even more specific, the deontology, as the ethical dimension of a profession or a public activity.
Directs the moral to a functional or professional behavior of the human agent in the social community. Very well, the hierarchy can exist by level of importance, however, there is a relationship of interdependence. A reflective and practice of human being, another simply as a rule, or written law suffering from changes to the look, and the decision of the observer.
It's up to you now reflect on these proposed conditions. It is a pity, but we are reaching the end of our class. Today we talked about ethics, morals and ethics.
We build concepts from the etymology of words, then we contextualize with some situations Now it's up to you! Search and read more about it I'll be waiting for you at a nearby school. Until then!
