The Merriam-Webster Dictionary (2017) defines ethics as “the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation.” Stealing food out from the office refrigerator belonging to another co-worker would be considered an act of bad behavior. If considering this same scenario under the Judeo-Christian religious view of ethics, the ideology is that one should treat others as they would hope to be treated (Parnell, 2008 p. 103). Interesting enough Parnell (2008) points outs that the religious views also has some implications of the integrative social contracts view of ethics, in that it highlights the assumptions of behavioral rights or wrongs that one should always maintain in life regardless of the situation (p. 103).
