Ethics is a word that has multiple definitions to it. Why does it? Because every person has a different view of was ethics is. Ethics, in my opinion, refers to standards of behavior that tell us how human beings ought to act in the many situations in which they find themselves-as friends, parents, children, citizens, business people, teachers, professionals, and so on. Ethics is not religion, it is not feeling, it is not the law. Ethics is important in the real work becuase it is what a person is to understand what is right and what is wrong. If you do not come to a firm understanding of this, you can end up dealing with some serious consequences.
