Since a human being is a social animal and can’t live alone, he/she has to respect certain fundamental principles and values to live together with his/her fellow beings and consequently build a peaceful society and lead a prosperous life.
As Johan Stuart Mill (1972) described it, a progressive and peaceful setting subsists in a given society as long as that society develops the qualities of its members and generates good citizens.
Aristotle (1955) also added that citizens of a state should always be educated to suit the constitution of a state. As a result, many states, including Ethiopia, have prioritized the development of good citizens. This is because good citizens are made, not born.
• Though the most commonly cited definition of civic education is "education about citizens' rights and responsibilities,"
• as an understanding of the constitutions, principles, values, history, and application to modern life
• Citizenship education can be defined as the knowledge, means, and activities that encourage students to actively participate in democratic life.
• participation in the United Nations Development Program
It defines civic education as a way of learning for effective participation in a democratic and development process.
• However, the subject can also be defined as the process of assisting young people in acquiring and learning to apply the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will prepare them to be competent and responsible citizens for the rest of their lives.
The Definition and Nature of Ethics and Morality
• Ethics is important.
"Realism" is a branch of philosophy that attempts to understand people’s moral beliefs and actions.
• "Ethics" describes the process of thinking about people’s morality.
•Ethics, or moral philosophy, considers theories about what human beings are capable of doing, alongside accounts of what they ought to do if they are to live an ethically good life.
Ethics also explores the meaning and the ranking of different ethical values.
such as sincerity,
-Autonomie,
It considers issues of equality and justice, as well as ethical quandaries.
Ethics may share common ground with
The law, religious belief, popular opinion, professional codes, and the dictates of authority figures,
Invariably, all ethical questions involve a decision about what one should do in a specific instance.
•Ethical questions are not concerned with what one would do (an essentially psychological concern) but with what one ought to do. Judgments about such decisions are generally expressed with words like right and wrong, should and ought, or obligation and duty.
Business or medical ethics, for example, are generally synonymous with morals. Although this is acceptable, a precise usage would apply the terms "morals" and "morals" to the conduct itself, while the terms "ethics" and "ethical" would refer to the study of moral conduct or to the code that one follows.
Thus, the specific act of telling the caller you were home could be described as moral or immoral. But what makes any act moral or immoral, right or wrong, fall within the province of ethics?
Ethicists often disagree about the nature of those standards and desirable qualities and follow different paths in establishing standards and discovering which qualities are desirable. For purposes of understanding, though, we can view ethics as divided into two fields:
• normative versus non-normative ethics
• In general, ethics is:
The critical examination and evaluation of what is good, evil, right, and wrong in human conduct. A specific set of principles, values, and guidelines for a particular group or organization
Ethics
The study of goodness, right action, and moral responsibility asks what choices and ends we ought to pursue and what moral principles should govern our pursuits and choices.
What is mortality?
Though it is one of the most frequently used terms, it can mean different things to different people.
•Morality is a commonly used word in most cultures. Some scholars argue that if we do not know what morality is, we cannot teach it.
•In crucial ways, we do not know what morality is. Yet we must teach it because it is of prime importance and must be learned.
Moreover, teaching must not be brainwashing; it must be moral. So, to understand moral and civic education, the term "moral" needs to be understood.
•Morality can be viewed from different perspectives, and let us start with the simple definition of the word itself. From a dictionary definition (from Latin moralities "manner, character, proper
• behavior") refers to the concept of human action in matters of right and wrong—also known as "good and evil."Ethics is the philosophical study of the code, standards, or norms of human conduct, and it is a more theoretical and general one.
• Ethics is the study of morality, moral principles, and moral decision-making; it establishes the standards, norms, or codes that humans must follow.
• Is the establishment of reasonable standards and procedures for making ethical decisions.
• is a set of normative rules of conduct, a code, or standards that govern what one should do when one's own, others, or institutions' well-being is at stake. Morality
• refers to the code of conduct that one adheres to, whereas ethics is the study of moral behavior or the study of the code that one adheres to.
• conformity of human behavior to a predetermined code of conduct an action conforms to the established code, it is called moral, if not immoral
• refers to the effort to guide one's behavior with logic while giving equal weight to the interests of each individual who will be affected by one's actions.
• It has to do with what one should do in general, not what any of us will do in a specific situation. Ethics and law
• Laws are norms that have been formalized by a state, power, or national or international political bodies. Many laws are instituted to promote well-being, resolve conflicts of interest, and promote social harmony. However, there are several reasons why ethics is
• not a legal term first, some illegal actions may not be unethical. Speeding is illegal, but one might have an ethical obligation to break the speed limit to transport someone to a hospital in an emergency. Second, some unethical actions may not be illegal. Most people would agree that lying is unethical, but lying is only illegal under certain conditions.
• For example, lying on a tax return, lying during sworn testimony, and so on. Third, laws can be unethical or immoral. The United States had laws permitting slavery in the 1800s, but most people today would say that those laws were unethical or immoral. Although we have moral and ethical obligations to obey the law, civil disobedience can be justified when immoral or unethical laws exist.
