Value

 Ethical values provide guideposts for moral behavior, helping individuals and groups determine the right action and make ethical choices.

Ethical values are positive values that often require us to consider interests beyond our own, such as respecting, protecting, serving, and helping others or maintaining societal order and advance humanity. They are fundamental beliefs that guide attitudes and actions, helping determine what is important to us.

Characteristics:

Ethical values are intrinsic - they have value in themselves, not just as a means to other ends.

They are often universal or widely shared across cultures. They relate to ideas of right and wrong conduct. Common ethical values include honesty, kindness, fairness, respect, and personal responsibility. Other examples are courage, justice, integrity, and fairness.

Contrast with other values: Not all values are ethical values. Some values, like efficiency, don't have an inherent ethical component. Ethical values differ from purely personal preferences or cultural norms.

Role in ethics: Ethical values form the foundation for ethical decision-making and behavior.

They inform judgments about moral rightness, responsibility, justice, and virtue.

Relationship to morals and ethics: Values inform personal ethics and societal morals. Ethics provides a structured system of principles based on values to govern appropriate conduct. Organizations often define core ethical values to guide employee behavior and decision-making. Individuals use ethical values to shape their personal conduct and life choices. Ethical values can be cultivated through practice, education, and reflection. They may evolve over time as societies and cultures change.

Ethical values provide guideposts for moral behavior, helping individuals and groups determine the right action and make ethical choices. They are foundational to ethics and moral philosophy.
