Feelings about what is right & wrong • But being ethical is clearly not a matter of following one's feelings. A person following his or her feelings may recoil from doing what is right. In fact, feelings frequently deviate from what is ethical. • Should a Muslim girl cover hair? Developed by Manuel Velasquez, Claire Andre, Thomas Shanks, S. J. , and Michael J.

Religious Beliefs • Most religions, of course, advocate high ethical standards. Yet if ethics were confined to religion, then ethics would apply only to religious people. • But ethics applies as much to the behavior of the atheist as to that of the saint. Religion can set high ethical standards and can provide intense motivations for ethical behavior. • Ethics, however, cannot be confined to religion nor is it the same as religion. Developed by Manuel Velasquez, Claire Andre, Thomas Shanks, S. J. , and Michael J. Meyer 1 -22 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley 1 -22
Following the Law • Being ethical is also not the same as following the law. The law often incorporates ethical standards to which most citizens subscribe. • But laws, like feelings, can deviate from what is ethical. • America’s pre-Civil War slavery laws and the old apartheid laws of South Africa are obvious examples of laws that deviate from what is ethical.

Acceptable to Society • Finally, being ethical is not the same as doing "whatever society accepts. " In any society, most people accept standards that are, in fact, ethical. • But standards of behavior in society can deviate from what is ethical. An entire society can become ethically corrupt. • Nazi Germany is a good example of a morally corrupt society. Developed by Manuel Velasquez, Claire Andre, Thomas Shanks, S. J. , and Michael J. Meyer 1 -24 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley 1 -24
