Ethics is concerned with studying and/or building up a coherent set of ‘rules’ or principles by which people ought to live. Ethics is often used in connection with the activities of organisations and with professional codes of conduct: for instance, medical and business ethics, which are often formalised in terms of exhaustive sets of rules or guidelines stating how employees are expected to behave in their workplaces (such as in respect of a duty of care or confidentiality that health-care workers owe to their patients; or the medical ethical principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for autonomy, and justice). Morality, on the other hand, is more often used in connection with the ways in which individuals conduct their personal, private lives, often in relation to personal financial probity, lawful conduct and acceptable standards of interpersonal behaviour (including truthfulness, honesty, and sexual propriety). There are four basic values:-
    A commitment to a culture of non-violence and reverence for life
    A commitment to a culture of fairness and a just economic order
    A commitment to a culture of truthfulness and tolerance
    A commitment to a culture of partnership and equal rights for men and
    women
