Ethics, Moral And Its Role In Law

Ethics, moral and its role in law

We can then define morals as those guidelines or rules that occur to know what is right or wrong, the behavior of people govern, that is, go beyond the study of the behavior of the human being.

Ethics

Definition of ethics

Taking everything explained and analyzing it we can already give a more concrete meaning to the ethical term: they are those attitudes that we take that trigger certain behaviors that will be evaluated as or bad or good, so it also keeps a lot of relationship with philosophy, because here you are looking for find the reason for this behavior, the study of that behavior. Another important point to be treated here is one that keeps a lot of relevance, those are the famous values.

The German philosopher Max Scheler (1874-1928), in his theory of axiology he treats us to make the following understand “for the values ​​they had a universal character, that is to say the values ​​are governed for all, then we can say that the historical facts , many of them have resulted in the appearance of many values ​​that were integrated with the passing of time, we can also say that values ​​help control our behavior.

Ethics and custom

It is knowledge that philosophy we know contains the study of many things, for this reason it is said that studying a whole. A point to mark here is the study of human behavior within a certain set of people, since it is said that the human being due to archaeological evidence or data that were found, is a very sociable being, accustomed to living within a community.

Why do we say this? What has to do that the human being is a being who likes the company of other beings around him, with ethics?

It has a lot to do, because many responses derive from it, since a child is in the family will evaluate the behaviors that their relatives, among others have inside the home, people who are close to them; Even being a child, one does not have a notion of what is right or wrong, but he will copy or adopt those customs that he observes.

And what is the custom? The custom could be defined as repetitive acts that one does because somehow it is burned in his brain permanently and simply be rooted in his way of being or acting. So we can say that custom is also a great influence of ethics.

According to Aristotelian philosophy, these repetitive acts produced two types of consequences, the first, were habits that were considered good and were also evil.

An example of that we can see it, again emphasized the aforementioned, at home, since childhood it teaches us that behaviors are considered good and others as bad, the classic phrase "do not do that, is wrong" or "that is not made love , now see and discourage ”this may certainly seem everyday, normal, that is not given greater relevance, but the truth is that in some way or another, this is forging within us an attitude that will later be reflected in our actuate. An action that will be practiced at the time of being in society, when we go out to the world and show what we learned, that good behaviors take and what bad habits we could have acquired.

Professional Ethics (Sáinz, 1992)

Paraphrasing what José Campillo Sáinz says, we can argue the following: although there are documents or norms that regulate in some way or another the professional’s behavior in relation to his career.

The best we observe is in the Hippocratic oath, as well as doctors they swear to protect the lives of human beings, lawyers swear to be loyal, everyone has an oath, one that must be fulfilled. It also refers to us that although there are paradigms that show us the correct way with what we must act, not only because we have sworn to do so, but because every attitude we take identifies us as a person and gives us an image to the world, the way in the May people look at you, that way you will have forged, with your actions, whether good or bad, everything has an impact.

If you give you a rule you must obey it, but what happens when the breach? If you disobey what did you swear with so much honor, you will logically deserve a section. Here the issue is not whether I disobey or not, the question is not to forget throughout your development as a professional, that ethics and morals of the hand, keeping that in your heart, more for your good values, customs and for your Quality as a person, who, by an oath, because when one loves what he does, he does it because he was born to do so and he is not worth it, against his own principles and that for various reasons you launched him even dark corner.

Ethics, moral and their role in law

That the law is the result of a constant evolution, which adapting to society over the years, to regulate the behavior of human beings within a society, thus providing such prohibitions that will allow to know what can be or cannot be done .

Human beings beyond that there are laws, norms, we know what is morally correct or what can be ethically incorrect, for example, within the formation as a lawyer, the acquisition of the corresponding knowledge goes hand in hand with ethics and moral, to learn the corresponding values

Vocation of jurist

For Couture it says that it is essential to know what your vocation is, this is necessary because one as a person knows himself, the things we like and those that do not, on this will depend later our future, if you like numbers And you choose right for the simple fact that they imposed it to you, your career would not mean anything and your profession will be nothing more than a burden, you do not care what you do or if that goes against everything they tried to teach you.

We can undoubtedly say that we must compare our capabilities, analyze them to see if what we choose tends to interact with the values ​​that most identify both the career and your person.

You have to have as a career is although your future, but those who love the choice of their career, know that beyond what others can say, you chose what you like most, not because they wanted it, but Because something inside you shouted that this was what you most wanted and when you work with passion, with effort and although sometimes you can frustrate yourself along the way, you know that in the end, everything will have been worth it, you know that everything you have learned It will be nothing but you understood the truth behind that, because there is nothing more rewarding than defending the truth, justice, freedom and rights.

Conclusions

• We can say that we have come to know the moral and ethical terms, also their relationship with the values ​​and other issues of vital importance that will regulate the behavior of the human being within an area, that is, the same society, who dictates parameters with the purpose that there is an environment where you can live in harmony.
• At present, what is sought in a professional, is that these have these two qualities, that once they go to the field work and exercise their profession, do not lose the true meaning of what they do, because they say that once you cross the Line, there is no return, it is then vitally important Opportunities ”that are simply the easiest way and that in the end ends up being the most bitter.
• We deduce that when choosing what our future will be, we must take into account, not what others expect from us, but ask us the question, what do I hope to get? Is it what we choose what we really want? Is it love for our career or the fruits of this? With this we can finally say the existence of the appreciation, passion and love factor, also influences our ability to develop as professionals, doing and defending with truth dignified and admirable attitudes, that career that we love so much.
• The right today is marked with a sign of that phrase that defines us as lawyers of corruption among many other phrases that put us at the same level as people who knew about ethics and moral, but did not practice them or simply diverted themselves from that On the way, for this reason, this issue is not always bad not only in an approach to law, but in a general approach.
