 ETHICS
Ethics is derived from ancient Greek word ethios which means “theory of things”
or “way Of living”. It is appreciated for the purposes it holds.

The theory of things views that the happening of events, decisions, and actions
is the product of rightful thoughts and deeds.

Ethics is also derived from the old French word ethique, Late Latin ethica which
means “of or for morals, moral or expressing character,” and Modern Latin
mores which means “customs”.
A code of ethics is a guide of principles designed to
help professionals conduct business honestly and
with integrity.
