System & Ethics

• Ethics cannot be separated from religion.
• The world’s eight major religions are Judaism, Christianity, Islam,

  Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Shintoism.
• Religion is deeply embedded in the culture of every society.
• To act ethically is a two-way process.

  First, an individual has to find out what should be done, given a particular situation.

  Second is the actual act of doing it.
• Religion comes in the actual act of doing the ethical act, which is

  really hard to do.
• For some, it takes moral courage to do what they have to do in a

  particular situation. They act based on faith and for many, religion is

  a source of moral strength.
