Ethics Aletxa Pascual

 Values are those principles, virtues, or qualities that characterize a person, an action, or an object that is typically considered positive or of great importance by a social group. I think that each person has different values and the importance of each value depends on each one's thoughts.  I think the most important value of all time is respect, because without respect neither yourself, a family, even society, can work in an efficient way that helps all the ones in it. At all times respect should be applied, for example, in the riots of Black Lives Matter, people should have respect for what others think at the same time police should have respect for the riots and the people that are trying to fight for their rights.  “Whenever those of us who are concerned about fairness in the criminal justice system attack police officers, you are doing a disservice to the cause,” said Ex-president Obama. Mr. Obama is a great example of a man full of honor and that has respect to...

Politics and ethical and moral values ​​are concepts so connected with each other that one should never be separated from the other; however, for many years, this is very, very far from being a reality.  Our governors have to be the people´s example of showing the values and morals we should have. But talking about politics today is the same as talking about evil, dishonesty, injustice, irresponsibility, disrespect, betrayal, insecurity, and even hatred.  An example of a bad governor is Donald Trump, he legitimized anti-values ​​such as sexism and xenophobia, during different occasions like riots, discrimination of race at the moment of justice, etc. I think this is a great example of how an inadequate politician can affect the entire country, there are more violations, deportations, gunfires, hate between people. It is something people should start raising their voices about  “When you are a star, they (women) let you do it. You can do whatever you want ” Donald Trump, 2...

 Philosophical reflection on ethical codes started with the Greek Sophists, they were teachers who traveled around teaching the art of public speaking. Protagoras denied the existence of objective moral truth and defended a version of moral relativism. Plato claimed, “whatever the city establishes as just, is just for that city as long as it judges so.” I think that for people to start saying their own opinions about different topics, especially ethics, was a great action in the world that had bigger consequences after, this was a start of a huge revolution and change of minds around all the world.  Callicles contrasted moral laws as human conventions and laws of nature. He also argued that moral codes were inventions of a weak majority so there were few powerful people. He said that weak men promote equality since it is the best they can reach. I think these ideas are wrong because the moral laws are not about who has more power, they are about equality and how everyone shoul...

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is any organism that has the DNA modified by using genetic engineering technology. They change different things such as: improve their growth, their nutritional content, pest resistance, ease of farming, etc. These genetic modifications accelerate the selective breeding to give the organism the trait they desire. I think this is a huge step for humans because they are being able to change humanity, but at the same time it is not a natural thing and we don't know what effects can there be on the future. It is estimated that there is around 80% of foods in the supermarkets that have ingredients that were genetically modified. I think that this is an important aspect that we don't even notice but we should start to, because if they do this without we don't even notice, what more are they doing to our food? There is some concern that the GMO can produce different illnesses and allergies, but according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)...

  Women are facing different disadvantages in the aspect of working. They are getting paid less even if they are doing the same job and putting the same effort. And this is not because they are no the same as educated or productive, this is only because of their genre. "Social norms and behavior patterns that lead them to lower paid jobs and less progress in their career."  It is explained by discriminatory practices. I think we should start noticing more about this theme and doing things to make this change because it is wrong the idea of paying less to someone just for being a woman.   In America Latina and Caribe the win 84 % of what a man wins according to Indice de Mejores Trabajos, they have a lot more probability of having an informal job. For example, in the United States of America, there is a double chance of probability to be the director of the orchestra if you are a man, a double chance just for your genre. I think this is amazingly insane, how society d...

  The ethic in business is based on different rules and tactics about the values that a business should do when they are making actions or taking different decisions. Ethics comes from a branch of philosophy that sees human values in relation to their conduct to good or bad, right and wrong. In the business world, this has a lot of importance because it defines how is your company and can make more inversions. I think this is one of the most important aspects that companies should consider because it significates a lot the way a company treats its workers and how is their bond. Some of the things that I think having good values in your company can upgrade are: the time the workers stay in their job, it attaches the investors to notice the business, it helps building and keeping a good reputation, it makes profits to the company, etc. With the past of time, I think the importance of ethics is growing, and I think that is good because it is making a more equal society, where there is...
