Ethics in community, unethical issues

Explain the state of ethics in the society where you live. You have been asked to give a talk on the state of ethics in your country today. What major unethical issues would you highlight?

Ethics are the rules that define moral conduct according to the ideology of a specific group. Ethics can be considered as a form of self-accountability or an inner check of the conduct of public administrators. Ethics are therefore statements, written or oral, that prescribe or proscribe certain behaviors under specified conditions (Rosenbloom, 2015). Moreover, ethics in civil service are important for good business conduct based on the needs of a specific town, state or country.

The ethics of a society is embedded in the ideas and beliefs about what is right or wrong, what is a good or bad character; it is also embedded in the conceptions of satisfactory social relations and attitudes held by the members of the society; it is embedded, furthermore, in the forms or patterns of behavior that are considered by the members of the society to bring about social harmony and cooperative living, justice, and fairness. The ideas and beliefs about moral conduct are articulated, analyzed, and interpreted by the moral thinkers of the society.
