Janesha Pickens Ethics Dr. Eckman November 26, 2014 Ethics Portfolio Definition of Ethics: I would summarize the term ethics by saying that it is an absolute standard by which people live by. Ethics is this mentality or this inside voice that tells us what we should do versus what we actually do. Dr. Eckman states in â€Å"Christian Ethics† that the term ethics refers to a set of standards around which we organize our lives and from which we define our duties and obligations. Ethics is something we ought to do. In America we mix up the terms ethics and morality. Morality is what we actually do, and already do. In Matthew 22:33-40, it speaks about how as believers we should mirror those greatest commandments. We should love God with everything we have and love others. As believers we are called to set ourselves apart to become more ethical. Sometimes we are so caught up in what we want to do versus what we should do as Christians. Our actions should scream out that we are different and so our choice in how we respond to things should be different also. Believers are faced with ethical issues today such as: euthanasia, bioethics, human sexuality, and ethics of war, capital punishment, work, race, art, and the environment. Ethical Absolutes: One of the main challenges in today’s society is how we have come to create what we call â€Å"norms†.
