what this site showed a reaction about the post of ella in her site. i think they have a point on telling that what ella did was wrong. but in another point, nothing is worng about what she posted on her site because she only wanted the people to know what's really happening in the transactions in the government and that's only what she had seen in her intention to help others.

legal vs ethical

** is every action that is legal also ethical? can you describe an action that is legal but ethically wrong? is every ethical action also legal? is the law not ethics? the only guide that business managers need to consider.


-> every action that is legal is supposed to be ethical. but for me, its not. nowadays, basing from our present situation, not all legal actions are ethical because these what they call "legal actions" may harm people. an example of this is slavery. Slavery is legal in other countries up to this point in time. But if you would see through this action, slavery is ethically wrong because it does not treat the people properly and violates their rights. Every ethical action is not always legal because it may seem good to other people but its legally wrong because it violates rules. The law can be considered as ethics as it regulates rules that can make the actions of the people in an ethical way.




** is it possible for an employee to be successful in the workplace without acting ethically?

-> i think it is not possible because in your work, ethics is very important to be applied in your actions and values. without proper ethics, you cannot do well in your work.

Ethics

You can have professional ethics, but you seldom hear about professional morals. Ethics tend to be codified into a formal system or set of rules which are explicitly adopted by a group of people. Thus you have medical ethics. Ethics are thus internally defined and adopted, whilst morals tend to be externally imposed on other people.

If you accuse someone of being unethical, it is equivalent of calling them unprofessional and may well be taken as a significant insult and perceived more personally than if you called them immoral (which of course they may also not like).

Dictionary.com defines ethics as:

A theory or a system of moral values: “An ethic of service is at war with a craving for gain"

The rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession.

Ethics of principled conviction asserts that intent is the most important factor. If you have good principles, then you will act ethically.

Ethics of responsibility challenges this, saying that you must understand the consequences of your decisions and actions and answer to these, not just your high-minded principles. The medical maxim 'do no harm', for example, is based in the outcome-oriented ethics of responsibility.
