    Ethics and Psychology


    Psychology studies how man
    behaves, while ethics studies how
    man ought to behave.
    Psychology is not interested in the
    morality of human behavior, while
    ethics is concerned with mans moral
    obligation or the result of his
    behavior.
    Psychology on the other hand is the
    scientific study of mental and
    behavioral characteristics associated
    with a particular kind of behavior.

    Ethics and
    Sociology
    Sociology deals with the study of
    social order while ethics deals
    with the study of moral order in
    the society. There is no social
    order if there is no moral order.
    Therefore, the foundation of any
    society depends on the moral
    values of people and their
    perspective concept of what is
    good and bad in human
    relationships.

    Ethics and Economics


    Economics as a science deals with
    the study of wages, labor,
    production, and distribution of
    wealth. These involves
    relationship among individuals
    At the heart of these behavior
    are moral norms and moral
    values that should guide people
    behavior as they relate with
    others.

    There are three ways in which ethics enters


    economics:

    1. Economist have ethical values that help


    shape the way they do economics.

    Economic actors (consumers, workers,


    business owners) have ethical values
    that help shape their behavior.
    Economic institutions and policies
    impact people differentially and
    thus, ethical evaluation, are
    important.

    Ethics and Law


    Ethics deals with morality,
    and when we speak
    morality, we mean
    primarily the moral law.
    Law may be define as
    crystallized ethics.
    Laws are intended to regulate the
    external actions of man while
    ethics investigates and probes
    the internal disposition of man,
    such as his motivations and his
    thoughts.

    Ethics and Religion

    Ethics is a discipline on set of oral


    principles and values governing an
    individual or institution behavior.
    Religion generally refers to the
    service and worship of God (or
    some other object) and is typically
    expressed as a personal or
    institutional set of beliefs,
    attitudes, and practices
    Ethics and Religion have the same end or
    purpose- that is the attainment of mans
    happiness in this life and beyond, lastly,
    Ethics and Religion prescribe right living as
    the means of attaining the goal of man in
