MIDTERM EXAM

1. What is ethics?
-Ethics is a set of moral principles at its most basic level. They have an impact on how
people make choices and live their lives. Ethics, often known as moral philosophy, is
concerned with what is beneficial for individuals and society. Ethics is based on well-
founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in
terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues. The word
ethos comes from the Greek word meaning "custom, habit, character, or temperament."

2. Human beings are capable of making moral judgements because of human freedom.
Explain human freedom.
-Human freedom is a social notion that recognizes people's dignity and is described here
as negative liberty, or the absence of coercion. Because freedom is intrinsically valued
and plays an important role in human progress, it is worth carefully measuring. Human
development is the most important factor of welfare improvement where the freedom is
an essential instrument to achieve it. The purpose of this paper is to investigate freedom
concept in different ideas and emphasize the role of freedom to access human
development indicators. The freedom has different measurement indicators that
sometimes democracy is used as a freedom indicator. The relationships of required
concepts have been studied by descriptive statistics.
