In this informative discussion on ethics by Michael Scott, we explore the definition and significance of ethics, particularly in research. Ethics can be defined as a theory or system of moral values. Ethical research emphasizes objectivity, adherence to high research standards, and the truthful reporting of findings. It also prioritizes the rights, privacy, integrity, dignity, and freedom of research subjects. The American Sociological Association provides guidelines for ensuring ethical conduct in research. Additionally, we touch on the concept of ethics in media and various aspects of American culture.
