Question

What role does ethics play in society? In the life of a nation? For democracy?

Answer 1

The world still breathes because of the ethical and moral components that countries adopted in their laws. One of the most important ethical point is that any action of individual, society and a nation should help most of the people and reduce harm to any. Another one in terms of nation is that an act will be ethical if it fulfils one’s duty and all of the government employees and politicians who form the government. In a democracy, ethics drives the equality, fairness and coexistence. If a society do not adopt the moral and ethical aspects, it would live as a barbaric society where there would be no humanness, anarchy and violence because of lack of tolerance. Thus it becomes very important that the society adopt ethical elements in order to function as a true human society.
