Lecture 1 Ethics and ethical systems
This first lecture begins by giving some definitions of ethics and relates ethics to values. You might notice that ethics has its roots far in the history, and that there are many perspectives and ways to look at ethics. In this session the main focus will be generally on an organization, and later especially in educational organizations. Secondly, this lecture presents the main four ethical systems and gives guidelines for problem solving using ethical systems.
