Ethical norms and rules of conduct in society

Communication of civilized people is impossible without ethical principles, norms and rules. Without having or not observing them, people would take care only of their own interests, would not notice anyone and nothing around, thereby losing their relationship with others. Ethical norms and behavioral rules contribute to the cohesion and unification of society.

Ethics is a set of rules that determine the degree of adequacy of behavior during any interaction with another person. Ethical norms, in turn, just represent the norms, thanks to which human contacts become pleasant for everyone. Of course, if you don't follow etiquette, you won't go to jail, and you won't have to pay a fine, because the justice system doesn't work. But censure of others can also become a kind of punishment, acting from the moral side.

Work, school, university, shop, public transport, home - in all these places there is an interaction with at least one person or more. In this case, the following methods of communication are usually used:

• facial expressions;
• movement;
• Speaking.

Each of the actions is evaluated by strangers, even if they are not related to what is happening.The main thing is to understand that you cannot purposefully insult, humiliate and be rude to others, as well as cause them pain, especially physical pain.

Ethical norms of communication are conditionally divided into two types: mandatory and recommended. The first moral principle forbids harming people. Contraindicated actions during communication - the creation of negative energy and similar feelings in the interlocutor.

In order not to create prerequisites for conflict, one should restrain negative emotions and understand that Each person has a personal opinion, and legal norms do not prohibit expressing it. This attitude should apply to all people, and especially teenagers who are prone to excessive emotional outbursts in a dispute or quarrel.

Recommended ethics are characterized by the observance of the following unspoken rules:

• it is important to remember self-esteem;
• do not forget about modesty;
• always treat people with respect and do not even mentally restrict any of their rights.

At the same time, communication motives are the determining factor; they can also be divided into several types.

• Positive: in this case, a person tries to make the interlocutor happier, respect him, show love, understanding, create interest.
• Neutral: here there is only information transfer of one person to another, for example, during work or other activities.
• Negative: indignation, anger and other similar feelings - all this is acceptable if you have to face injustice. However, it is important to control oneself so that such motives do not turn into illegal actions.

Even the last point relates to ethics, like the rest, because all of the above is based on the motives of high morality. It is a completely different matter when a person is guided by base motives, wanting to commit deceit, revenge, or deliberately deprive someone of a good mood. This behavior is contrary to ethics, although it may have some exceptions.

Of course, general ethical principles apply to every person, no matter who he is, but the so-called business world has managed to create its own rules of communication, which must also be observed while in the appropriate environment. In fact, they differ only in the presence of a permanent formality. These rules sound very accessible.

• There is no absolute truth even in morality, and it is the highest human judge.
• If you want to change the world, start with yourself. Praising others, find claims in your direction. Forgiving the misdeeds of others, always punish yourself.
• It depends only on the person himself how he will be treated.

Every organization is encouraged to think about improving ethics:

• develop special ethical standards;
• create personal ethics commissions;
• properly train employees and instill in them respect for ethical standards and for each other.

Thanks to such decisions, a certain therapeutic effect is created for the entire team, helping to create or improve a moral atmosphere, increase loyalty and not forget about morality. The reputation of the firm will also improve.

The concept of "ethics" and its rules should be known to all self-respecting people. Moreover, the basics of good tone are quite simple - remembering and observing them will not be difficult.

Communication in one's own home with relatives can be of any character acceptable to a particular family, however, when entering society, behavior with other people must comply with generally accepted standards. Many adhere to the statement that there is only one opportunity to make a proper impression on a stranger, and this is remembered with each new acquaintance. In order for everything to go well, it is important not to forget about the implementation of a few simple rules.

• It doesn't matter if it's in a fun company or at an official event, strangers should first be introduced to each other.
• Names are a very important detail, so you need to try to remember each one.
• When a man and a woman meet, the representative of the stronger sex, as a rule, begins to speak first, but there may be an exception if he is a famous person or there is a meeting of a business nature.

• Seeing a significant age difference, the younger should introduce himself to the older one first.
• If possible, you should rise when an acquaintance occurs.
• When the acquaintance has already taken place, the one who is higher in rank or position in society or the older person continues the interaction. A different alignment is possible when an awkward silence occurs.
• If you had to sit down with strangers at the same table, it is necessary to make an acquaintance with those sitting nearby before the start of the meal.
• When shaking hands, the gaze should be directed into the eyes of the person opposite.
• The palm for the handshake is extended in a vertical position with the edge down. This gesture shows that the interlocutors are equal.
• Gestures are as important a component of communication as words, so you need to follow them.
• Shaking hands with a glove is not worth it, it is better to take it off even on the street. However, women do not have to do this.
• After a meeting and greeting, they usually find out how the interlocutor is doing, or how he is doing.
• The content of the conversation should not touch on topics, the discussion of which will cause discomfort to one of the parties.

• Opinions, values, and tastes are personal things and should either not be discussed at all or should be done with care so as not to hurt anyone's feelings.
• If you want to show your personality from the best side, you cannot praise yourself, otherwise you will achieve the opposite result, since boasting is not encouraged.
• The tone of conversation should always remain as polite as possible. The interlocutor, most likely, is not to blame for the problems of personal relationships of another person, and a gloomy look will only repel and upset him.
• If the place of action is a company of three or more people, then you should not whisper with someone.
• After the end of the conversation, it is important to say goodbye competently and culturally in order to prevent an unforgivable violation.

Not only adults, but also children, from a conscious age, should know the listed rules that regulate their behavior in the future. To regulate ethics and good manners for your child means to raise him as a worthy person who will be accepted into society. However, you should not only tell the kids how to behave with other people. It is much more important to show this by example, which serves as proof of correct behavior.

These concepts are a whole science of courtesy and politeness. Morality can also be called a code of morality and decency. All this affects the behavior of people, their communication and attitude towards each other.There are many historical examples of the management of a society especially interested in morality.

The established norms included in the concept of etiquette determine the type of a particular person, referring him, for example, to good or evil, depending on how he presents himself in public.

It is senseless to deny the great influence of moral principles on the culture of the whole world, starting from ancient times. Since then, and to this day, informal rules are passed from parents to children. Something remains unchanged for centuries, while the other changes when it completely loses its relevance. This means that for each time there are their own concepts, as well as for each individual people or even a single family.

Discussions about the correctness or errors in personal judgments of people, different in their temperament and upbringing, can be endless, but everyone will find their own arguments in favor of one or another principle or contrary to the objection.
