Ethical issues rapidly arise because of conflicts among individuals’ personal moral philosophies and values (Ferrell, John, & Linda, 2010). Ethics are a person’s concept of right and wrong, a system of moral principles, and the rules of conduct that are recognized in human actions. So, ethics comprises the principles, values and standards to guide behaviour of peoples but not everyone share the same understanding of right and wrong.
Values are the universal concept or one of the components to guide somebody’s behaviour and use to develop norms that is socially enforced. In other words, value is the tool to restrain people’s behaviour. Moral values also are a standard to make the judgments on behaviour whether that action is right or wrong (Navran, 2010). Some examples of moral values include honesty, fairness, integrity, trust and etc.
In an ever changing world where cultures and people collide and interact, especially in the modern era where the internet and television acts as a strong medium to deliver foreign values and ideas, this issue is especially pervasive and ethics are more susceptible to being eroded, because information and ideas are so freely available and without proper guidance, individuals may come to an incorrect or unethical conclusion on their own. Worst still, they may actually perceive these unethical behaviour as ethical, and carry out unethical activities without any guilt.
