Ethics (also known as moral philosophy) is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality—that is, concepts such as good vs. bad, noble vs. ignoble, right vs. wrong, and matters of justice, love, peace, and virtue.

Major branches of ethics include:

  • meta-ethics, about the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions and how their truth-values (if any) may be determined;
  • normative ethics, about the practical means of determining a moral course of action;
  • applied ethics, about how moral outcomes can be achieved in specific situations;
  • moral psychology, about how moral capacity or moral agency develops and what its nature is; and
  • descriptive ethics, about what moral values people actually abide by.

Within each of these branches are many different schools of thought and still further sub-fields of study.

What topic should I write about for an ethics research paper?
Q. For my college ethics class I have to write a eight page research paper about something that has a ethical issue. I was going to write about gun control, but the ethics behind that would have been too complicated to present in a paper like that. Does anyone have any ideas on what would make a good topic?

A. First and foremost, you should create a detailed business plan. If you are honest among yourselves, your goals and objectives will become clear. If you are all equally dedicated to making the business successful, your ethics and responsibilities will become obvious. You can find a great business plan template on the SCORE website... www.score.org Good Luck!

Ethics (from the Ancient Greek "ethikos", meaning "arising from habit"), a major branch of philosophy, is the study of value or quality. It covers the analysis and employment of concepts such as right, wrong, good, evil, justice and responsibility.

Sourced

  • The most optimistic ethics have all begun by emphasizing the element of failure involved in the condition of man; without failure, no ethics; for a being who, from the very start, would be an exact co-incidence with himself, in a perfect plenitude, the notion of having-to-be would have no meaning. One does not offer an ethics to a God. It is impossible to propose any to man if one defines him as nature, as something given. The so-called psychological or empirical ethics manage to establish themselves only by introducing surreptitiously some flaw within the manthing which they have first defined.
  • Poetry is an ethic. By ethic I mean a secret code of behavior, a discipline constructed and conducted according to the capabilities of a man who rejects the falsifications of the categorical imperative.
  • Strong ethics keep corporations healthy. Poor ethics make companies sick. Values are the immune system of every organisation.
