Newsletter No 4/2020 - Ethics is about life and it matters
Editorial
Ethics is about life and it mattersBy Obiora Ike |
 |
| Ethics is about life. It is the study and discipline for rational beings to know the distinction between good and evil. Ethics is about doing the right thing, making the right choices, protecting the common good, promoting good behaviour and avoiding harm. Ethics helps to promote collaboration and community coexistence and is a subject taught within the family, in schools and higher education institutions. Through ethics, young people and adults reconnect with a moral and ethical compass for life by practising virtue. It is indeed clear that without ethics and values-based education, a better world is not possible. Our common challenge, therefore, is to integrate ethics in education so that people think ethically, govern ethically and act ethically. |
