Some years ago, sociologist Raymond asked business people, "What do ethics mean to you?" Among their
replies were the following:
These replies might be typical of our own. The meaning of "ethics" is hard to pin down, and the views many
people have about ethics are shaky.
First, ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do,
usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues. Ethics, for example,
refers to those standards that impose the reasonable obligations to refrain from rape, stealing, murder,
assault, slander, and fraud. Ethical standards also include those that enjoin virtues of honesty, compassion,
and loyalty. And, ethical standards include standards relating to rights, such as the right to life, the right to
freedom from injury, and the right to privacy.

feelings, laws, and social norms can deviate from what is ethical. Ethics also means, then, the continuous
effort of studying our own moral beliefs and our moral conduct, and striving to ensure that we, and the
institutions we help to shape, live up to standards that are reasonable and solidly-based.

to experience love, beauty, mystery and gratitude can create a really profound awareness of the value of our
environment . A basic moral standard of respect for our environment is to protect nature from over-
exploitation, misuse and pollution, and from destruction and eradication of species.
Few examples of how I can demonstrate the value of concern for environment are:
