ethics

The word “ethics” is used in everyday life. It is commonly used by every person. Nowadays ethics are related to many professionals like accountants, teachers, engineers, doctors, etc. In many organizations, there is a code of ethics. This code of ethics specifies the guidance related to the ethical dilemmas and it also provides advice in avoiding these ethical conflicts. Ethics play a dominant role in the corporate social environment(CSR). Therefore it is better to dive further, to understand the ethics. How it is interconnected with everyday life and morality, how it is related to human behaviors, and what is the real meaning of ethics. Most simply we can define ethics as a system of moral principles. These principles will have an effect or impact on the humans like how they make decisions and how they behave in society, how they talk with each other. Ethics affects how people lead their lives. Ethics are simply a process. A process of questioning, discovering, and defending our values. Ethics tells us what is right, what is good, and the purpose of your reason for being. As I explained earlier ethics are simply a set of moral principles. We can use ethics to distinguish what is right and wrong. Ethics provides practical guidance to our lives. 

In most cases, many professional bodies have introduced ethical codes for their professional members. For example, CFA, CIMA, and ACCA have introduced separate ethical codes for their members. These codes will cover the practical guidance.
How the members need to make their decisions without compromising the ethics. We constantly face choices and challenges that will affect our lives. We need to make these choices by considering the others who might get affected by the consequences of the choice we made. By using ethics we can minimize these conflicts of interest in decision making.

Ethics are not particularly related to religion. Ethics are typically referring to the decisions about the correct, incorrect right or wrong but the religion makes claims about the social behavior, proper treatment to other people, etc. Therefore, we can say the ethics are not directly related to religion but they are slightly related.

SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION, DEDUCTION, AND INDUCTION

SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION  The scientific explanation is an explanation given to something based on the principles of science. There are mainly three parts to the scientific explanation. The first one is the claim, which means the explanation. The second component is the evidence, or we can say it as the observation. The last part is rationality. This is the reasoning. Reasoning explains the evidence and why it supports the claim. The primary objective of a scientific explanation is to show that the facts or data that can be deduced from the general theory. To become a good scientific explanation all our data needs to be correct and the explanation needs to be true.   Explanations vs confirmations Confirmation involves proving reasons related to certain claims in believing that is true. This means confirmation involves providing evidence for a certain claim. The explanation involves answering questions. Which involves clarifying certain causes. Why does a particular phenomen...

  Testimony, Reasoning, and rationality According to the Oxford dictionary, the meaning of the testimony is “a formal written or spoken statement saying what you know to be true, usually in court”. The word “court” is also included in the definition of the testimony.

One person's testimony will create diffusion within the society. These testimonies will create the diffusion among the news, information, opinion, gossip, etc. Testimonies will help to preserve the heritage knowledge and beliefs, especially areas related to history, science, etc. Testimony is related to philosophy.

Explanations and Theories

Explanations and Theories Scientific Explanation A scientific explanation uses observations and measurements to explain something we see in the natural world. Scientific explanations should match the evidence and be logical, or they should at least match as much of the evidence as possible. Two key concepts in scientific explanations are theory and hypothesis. A theory is used to make predictions about future observations. A hypothesis is a testable prediction that is arrived at logically from a theory. Probabilistic Explanation The probabilistic explanation is a form of reasoning that considers either the likeliness of an event happening or the strength of one's belief about an event or statement; that is, the probability may be about things or it may be about our degree of belief about things. Probability theory has from its conception been utilized to represent this uncertainty in scientific knowledge. Explanations are often probabilistic or statistical in nature....
