Ethics

Ethics from the Ancient Greek moral philosophy", from the adjective of "custom,

habit” a major branch of philosophy, is the study of values and customs of a person or group.

It covers the analysis and employment of concepts such as right and wrong, good and evil,

and responsibility.

Ethics is a branch of philosophy. It is related to human nature. It reflects our

behaviour. It plays an important role in building up our nature and behaviour. As a society is

made by people and their behaviour and ethics plays an important role in organizing our

behaviours so it is an important part of a society. Ethics is a branch of philosophy that deals

with moral component of human life.

Sources of Ethics in Pakistan Society:There are certain sources of ethics. These sources include those persons, places or people

which affect our lives at different stages and thus help us in developing and adopting our

ethics. These sources are following:

1. Parents

2. Media

3. Peer groups

4. Educational institutions

5. Teen Age (school level)

6. Adult Age (higher studies)

7. Observations & Experiences

ParentsParents play important role in the personality development of their children. Because

children first practical learning institution is his mother. Parents are the role of model for their

children initially at first stage. Parents portray their behaviour and attitude toward their

children. Parent teaches us how to behave in front of guest. How to behave with elders, how

to do talk and walk, how to deal with others how to perform certain acts in a good manner,

how to respect elder and love younger. They always guide us to make comparison between

evil and good. Parents are builder of our personality to keep good thinking, habits, character

and be bonified to everyone. They let us know do not harm the character and always respect

for self esteem, self image. As it is our moral obligation to do have spoken truth at any

condition or at any form. Parents training remain long lasting and unending impact in the

personality of children.

Children always get impact for mostly by their parents by copying them and behaving

as his own parents are behaving. Our ethical behaviour is product of multiple component and

course of action. But parents are important more than any of other. Because we spend most of

our time with our parents. We follow more to our parent rather than any other person. Our

parents are our more expose and open to us so we believe to do whatever comes to our mind.

If we do something wrong with our parent they can forgive because we are their children but

any other person cannot forgive us.  

MediaMedia is a fourth pillar of any independent and advance nation that portrays the true

picture of events and happening in front of whole nation. Media is building block of our

nation in today era. Because today it’s a period of information explosions and information

imperialism. The more you are getting the information the more you can govern anywhere at

any platform. In the history of Pakistan we had faced many issues but the issue of Lal masjid

is somewhat extreme and most serious because it was religious issue. Journalist presented the

whole of picture of battle field round the clock. The role of journalist was very crucial in

presenting the right news at the right time. They carried out their ethical and moral duty by

presenting truth and reality. Journalists should be honest, fair and courageous in gathering,

reporting and interpreting information.

Peer Groups

The peer group becomes an agency of enculturation and learning. Even very young

children develop a sense of self from their perceptions of important people in their

surroundings, including relatives, teachers, and peers. Socioeconomic status, ethnic identity,

and parents’ occupations affect how families view themselves and the process by which they

socialize their children.

Friendship is more often seen as something that happens outside work. Sure you

might make friends at work. But while work friends are great for happy hours, water cooler

conversations and lunch, they also positively impact employees' opinion of their job and

employer.

Educational institutions

Education, has a great social importance specially in the modern, complex

industrialised societies. Philosophers of all periods, beginning with ancient stages, devoted to

it a great deal of attention. The school devotes much of its time and energy to the matter such

as co-operation, good citizenship, doing one's duty and upholding the law. Education helps in

transmitting culture through proper moulding of social personalities. In this way, it

contributes to the integration, to survive and to reproduce themselves. Education must

prepare the student for future occupational positions, the youth should be enabled to play a

productive role in society. Education acts as integrative force in society by communicating

value, that unite different sections of society. The family may fail to provide the child the

essential knowledge of the social skills and values of the wider society.

Teen Age (school level)

The brain grows most rapidly in the early years. High quality teachers and preschools

can have a long-term effect on improving outcomes for disadvantaged students.

main themes are typically offered.

Communication, (including sign language), talking and listening

World knowledge and understanding

Creative and aesthetic development

Mathematical awareness

Self-help skills

Social skills

Adult Age (higher studies)

Saira Randhawa

Students who attend institutions of higher education obtain a wide range of personal,

financial, and other lifelong benefits. Higher education can be considered a great tool for

everyday life too. People who have a higher education are easier to talk too.

Observations & Experiences

Social experience provides individuals with the skills and habits necessary for

participating within their own societies, as a society itself is formed  through a plurality

of shared,experiences forming norms, customs, values, traditions, social,roles, symbols and 

languages. Experience plays an important role in experiential groups.
