– well based standards of
right and wrong that prescribe
what humans ought to do
Difference
between Values & Ethics
• "Values are what we judge to be
right."

• Individually or organizationally,
values determine what is right
and what is wrong

• Doing what is right or wrong is


what we mean by ethics.

• To behave ethically is to behave


in a manner consistent with what
is right or moral.
- about words
– what we say
- simply a written code

- an intention
The Real Test of Ethics
(and character) is whether we
are willing to do the “right” thing
… even when it requires our
personal sacrifice
