UNDERSTANDING THE
VALUATION OF ETHICS
Valuation of ethics is the act of evaluating
and ranking the significance of ethical
principles and moral factors in a specific
context or decision-making situation. It
involves deciding the importance of ethics
when making choices. This concept is vital in
fields like philosophy, business ethics, law, and
personal decision-making.

ACTIONS.
SITUATIONS
You are the CEO of a pharmaceutical company that
specializes in producing life-saving medications for
a rare disease. Your company has recently
discovered a new treatment that shows significant
promise in alleviating the suffering of patients with
this disease. However, the cost of developing and
manufacturing the medication is exceptionally
high.
SITUATIONS
Imagine you work for a large corporation in a high-
level position. One day, you discover evidence of
serious unethical and possibly illegal activities
within the company. These activities could
potentially harm customers, investors, and the
general public. You are faced with a difficult ethical
dilemma:
ETHICS IN HUMAN ACTIONS
- Ethics pertains to the valuation of
human actions, especially those of
significant gravity and concern for
well-being and human life.

- It encompasses matters of life and


death such as war, capital
punishment, and abortion.

- It also addresses issues related to


human well-being, such as poverty,
inequality, and sexual identity.

CONCLUSION
In summary, ethics is the compass that guides us in
distinguishing between right and wrong, good and bad, in our
actions and decisions. It's not just an abstract concept; it's a
practical framework that helps us make morally sound choices.

We've explored how ethics influences our daily lives, from


personal choices like clothing to addressing significant societal
issues. Ethics prompts us to reflect on our values and consider
the consequences of our actions.

As we navigate life's complexities, let's remember that ethics


serves as a moral guide, urging us to choose the path of
integrity and justice in all that we do. Thank you for your
attention, and I'm open to any questions or further discussions
on this crucial topic of ethics.
