  3. ETHICS Ethics is a set of standards, or a code or value system, worked out from human reason and experience, by which free human actions are determined as ultimately rightor wrong, good or evil If an action agrees with these standards, it is ethical; if not , it unethical

  4. MORALITY the standards that an individual or a group has about what is rightand wrongor goodand evil

  5. MORAL STANDARDS The norms about the kinds of actions believed to be morally rightand wrong as well as the values placed on the kinds of objects believed to be morally goodand morally bad

  13. PURUSHARTHA These four steps are Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. The word Dharma means that which holds society and the world. By following its rules, one becomes virtuous. For our purpose we may describe Dharma as right conduct.

  14. By Artha we mean wealth, family, friends, education etc. These should be earned in the right way. That can be done only by following the rules of Dharma. If we observe Dharma in the right way, we earn the right kind of Artha. The first leads to the second.

  15. Kama means desire or love. This desire should be moral. If we practise Dharma and earn Artha in the right way, our Kama too will be of the right type

  16. Moksha is the last step in the journey of man’s life. The first three steps will naturally lead to the last step. If, however, we make a mistake in the earlier steps, we will not reach the last step. The word Moksha means liberation. A person who is liberated has no further birth or death. So, he need not suffer the pains and enjoy the small pleasures of the earth.
