OF ETHICS
The value of studying ethics in
life is a must responsibility and
such, is also obligatory. Not
because we are purposely
driven nor illuminated by its
essence, it is already deeply
imbued to us. It only needs to
be followed every time we
undertake any actions or
endeavor in life.
Such actions are
considered ethical or
unethical depending on
the intention and its effect
to the receiver. Bear in
mind that there is always
an effect after every
undertaking.
In ethics, we ask
if it must be. What
you think is right
is the bottomline.
That’s ETHICS!

TWO ETHICAL
SYSTEMS
ATHEISTIC

matter exists and that man is only
responsible to himself since there is
no god who creates and rules the
universe.
It favors science than religion.
