A Guide To An Ethical Life

What are some common etiquette to follow?
Say you'd like to improve yourself, be the ideal citizen and member of society. Or simply, seek to become a person that most will like, well I'll give you a few tips:

                   1. Whenever you're having arguments with someone it's best to acknowledge his/her point of view. It is a sign of respect to them and that you are reminding them as well that you are listening to their side of the story.

                   2. You must always put others before you, don't cloud yourself with selfish interests but instead try helping others out.

                   3. When under pressure or stress, smile it off and don't release your anger on someone else. I understand that we can get frustrated sometimes but if you rant out to someone just because you're angry, it might affect your relationship with them. Try finding a different way for you to vent out your anger, like listening to your favorite song or watch a movie.

                   4. Try avoiding gossip. Gossip can be a little bit tempting sometimes, getting that juicy information is food for our judgemental thoughts, but it's not really a good thing. Gossiping about others has NEVER been a good thing.

                   5. We all have our walls. When having a conversation with someone, never push the boundaries of the person you're talking to, by means of invading their privacy and dictating their life. We both know that there are topics that we're not comfortable to talk about, like our insecurities. And that's okay, respect their privacy as you want them to respect yours.
If you're to ask me, following etiquette is easy! I do it at school all the time! There's nothing wrong with by being yourself, just remember to not go to the extremes by harming another for our interests. It can be a challenge, temptation comes when you are weak. But my dear, those are the times that we have to be strong and cling on to our resolve.
I believe that by being rational and just, I can live an ethical life. As I said from above, by putting others first before me, to see the smiles on their faces, that's what makes me happy. And as I continue on my life, as long as my intent is pure, and my way is good, my life can be as ethical as it can be.

A Brief Introduction To Ethics

What is Ethics? Ethics is the designation between good and bad, the right and the wrong, the virtuous and immoral, evil and the just. Yet, at the same time this can either be based on society's norms, established by their founders and were developed over time, or be one's own judgment and sense. To be ethical is to be able to perform tasks that are efficient, just, rational and must be fit to society's standards of ethics. And by conclusion, ethics is the division of what society deems right and wrong. The right, being what is beneficial and desirable for society and the wrong, the undesirable and what shall bring its fall The ever so called "Golden Rule"   Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you. This golden rule speaks of equality and justice. Should you wish to be respected and treated fair, thou must also do so to others. It teaches us on being civil and kind, and also serves as a reminder that we must suppress our inner e...

The Difference of a GOOD Worker and a BAD Worker Well a good worker puts concentration and effort in what he does. He has passion  and knows of the consequences at stake should he try to do something wrong, thus he will not do it.   A good worker follows company rules, observes proper hygiene and is careful on his actions.   He is a man of morals and has his etiquette. While a bad worker  is someone who is lazy and thinks only for himself. He does not  follow company rules and is rude to his peers. Bad workers tend to get lousy jobs, though some exist in the corporate world as well. We have inconsiderate bosses with impossible standards and rules, we have careless factory workers that pose as a risk of danger to the products they produce, we have rude customer service people that quarrel with their customers.  The world is a huge place filled with people who've multiple personalities and multiple work ethics.

What're the benefits of ethics? Well it can be beneficial in a way that it molds me to become a better and more functional member of society. As ethics guide me through my daily life, of course it lies weigh to my morality. As such, I become a rational and believable being, following society's laws and acting for the good of all. We have different theories of ethical behavior, one in particular is utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is the act of doing what will benefit the many. In my belief this is what I possess for I prefer to commit to a cause and sacrifice my interests for the sake of making everyone happy and content. Although I find it disappointing that there aren't many people who appreciate this. But all in all, if it's for a greater cause then I'd be willing to make a sacrifice.
