4. Explain the relationship between Religion and Ethics also Culture and Ethics
These relationships will vary across cultures as well as within a single religious or
cultural group. They are constantly changing and taking different forms all
over the world. When evaluating ethical decisions, we must consider the culture,
context, and religious beliefs and practices that affect an individual, as well as look
beyond overgeneralized identities
Religion and ethics are heavily intermingled for those who are religious since one's
religious beliefs will typically impact ethical issues. Those who practice or believe a
specific faith are usually guided by the faith in all areas of the life. Although there are
connections between religion and ethics, this does not mean that they cannot coexist.
Ethics are also founded on the lessons one picks up from society at large. Citizens of
different cultures have fundamental beliefs that guide their daily lives. It is not right to
think that any of them may exist apart from or in isolation from the others. These
connections will differ both between and within distinct religious or cultural groups.
Across the world, they are continually evolving and morphing into new shapes. When
assessing ethical choices, we must look beyond too defined identities and consider the
society, context, and religious beliefs and practices that affect an individual.
