Ethical norms and rules of behavior in society

Communication of civilized people is impossible without ethical principles, norms and rules. Not having or not observing them, people would care only about their own interests, not notice anyone and nothing around, thus losing their relationship with others. Ethical norms and behavioral rules contribute to the unity 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, represent the norms by which human contacts become pleasant for everyone. Of course, if you do not observe etiquette, you will not go to prison, and you will not have to pay a fine, because the justice system does not work. But censure of others is also able to become a kind of punishment acting from the moral side.

Work, school, university, shop, public transport, family home - in all these places there is an interaction with at least one or more people. The following methods of communication are commonly used:

• mimicry;
• movement;
• colloquial speech.

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 it is impossible to insult, humiliate and be rude to others, and also hurt them, especially physical.

Ethical norms of communication are divided into two types in a conditional order: mandatory and recommended. The first moral principle forbids harming people. Contraindicated actions during communication - the creation of negative energy and similar feelings with 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 him from expressing. Such an attitude should apply to all people, especially adolescents, who are prone to excessive emotional outbursts in a dispute or quarrel.

Recommended ethics are characterized by adherence to the following unspoken rules:

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

The motives of communication in this case are the determining factor, they can also be divided into several types.

• Positive: in this case, the person tries to make the other person happier, respect him, show love, understanding, create interest.
• Neutral: here there is only an information transfer from one person to another, for example, during work or other activities.
• Negative: indignation, anger and other such feelings - all this is permissible if you have to deal with injustice. However, it is important to keep yourself in hand so that such motives do not turn into illegal actions.

Even the last point refers to ethics, like the rest, because everything listed is based on the motives of high morality. It is quite another thing when a person is guided by base motives, wishing to commit deception, revenge or specifically deprive someone of a good mood. Such behavior is contrary to ethics, although it may have some exceptions.

Of course, common ethical principles apply to every person, no matter who he is, however, the so-called business world has managed to create its own rules of communication, which must also be followed while in the right environment. In fact, they differ only in the presence of constant formality. These rules are very accessible.

• There is no absolute truth even in morality, and she is the highest human judge.
• Want to change the world - start with yourself. Praising others, in their own way find the claims. Forgive the misdeeds of others, always punish yourself.
• It depends only on the person himself how he will be treated.

Each organization is recommended to think about increasing ethics:

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

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

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

Communication in one’s own home with one’s family can be of any nature acceptable to a specific family, but when entering society with other people, behavior must meet 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. For everything to go well, it is important not to forget about the implementation of several simple rules.

• It doesn't matter if it happens in a fun company or at a formal event, strangers should be introduced to each other first.
• Names are a very important detail, so everyone needs to try to remember.
• 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 well-known person or a business meeting takes place.

• Seeing a significant age difference, the youngest should introduce the eldest first.
• Whenever possible it is necessary to rise when acquaintance occurs.
• When the acquaintance has already taken place, the one who is higher in rank or position in society or the oldest 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, you need to make acquaintance with those sitting next to you before the start of the meal.
• When shaking hands, the gaze should be directed into the person’s opposite eyes.
• The palm for a handshake is pulled out vertically, edge down. This gesture shows that the interlocutors are equal.
• Gestures - the same important component of communication, as well as words, so you need to follow them.
• Shaking hands in a glove is not worth it, it is better to remove it even on the street. However, women do not need this.
• After the meeting and greetings usually find out how things are with the interlocutor, or how he is doing.
• The content of the conversation should not affect the topic, the discussion of which will cause discomfort to one of the parties.

• Opinions, values ​​and tastes are personal things, they 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 can not praise yourself, otherwise you will achieve the opposite result, since boasting is not encouraged.
• The tone of the conversation should always remain as polite as possible. The interlocutor, most likely, is not guilty, of the problems of the personal relationship of another person, and a sullen appearance will only alienate 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 competently and culturally say goodbye in order to prevent an unforgivable violation.

Not only adults, but also children from a conscious age should know the listed rules governing their behavior in the future.To regulate ethics and good manners for one's children - this means raising him to 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 it by example, which serves as proof of the correct behavior.

These concepts are the 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 to each other. There are many historical examples of the management of society, especially those interested in morality.

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

There is no sense in denying the great influence of moral principles on the culture of the whole world, starting from ancient times. From then on, unofficial rules are passed on from parents to children. Something remains unchanged for centuries, and the other changes when it loses its relevance. This means that for each time there are own concepts, as well as for each individual people or even a single family.

Discussions about the correctness or mistakes in personal judgments, people who differ in their nature and upbringing, can lead endlessly, but everyone will have their own arguments in favor of a particular principle or opposite objections.
