He argues that the term often refers to a set of rules, principles, or way of thinking that guide, or claim authority to guide, the actions of a particular group. This way, ethics is often misconstrued as being similar to “law” for the plain reason that many believe ethics should be the guiding principle that serves as the foundation for society’s conception of good and bad or in deciding what constitutes right and wrong action or behaviour. The immediate problem emerging from this discourse is the subjective claims made on the determination of what is good and bad or right and wrong for societyPages: 21engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)DeterminationRight and WrongSocietyGlobal ethicsPolitical ethicsEconomic ethicsCultural ethicsReligious ethicsMethods of ethicsBioethicsCommunity ethicsEducation and ethicsEnvironmental ethicsBook chapter
