Define Ethics.

Define Ethics.

• A. A set of rules for punishment
• B. The discipline dealing with what's good & bad with moral duty & obligation
• C. A system of financial management
• D. A method of physical training

Answer: (B)

Ethics is the study of what is morally right or wrong and the duties we owe to others. It asks how we ought to act, especially when rules aren’t explicit, and helps professionals weigh competing values like safety, rights, and fairness to make decisions with integrity. In detention and security work, ethical thinking guides choices about honesty, confidentiality, respect for individuals, accountability, and applying the law with restraint. The other options describe different fields—rules for punishment, financial management, or physical training—that don’t address moral reasoning or the obligations guiding conduct.
