The word Ethics is closely linked to words such as good, moral and
             proper. Ethics elucidate how a conscientious person should behave by
             providing a way to choose between competing options. Ethics basically
             pertain to well based standards of being equitable or impartial, i.e. what
             humans ought to do in terms of obligations, benefits to society, fairness
             or specific virtues. Decisions that are based on Ethics provide the pathway
             for evaluating options more carefully. Ethical decision making does not
             only emphasize on the doctrine based on the importance of ethics but it
             also emphasizes on ethical sensitivity to implication of options, the
             competence to appraise convoluted, equivocal and inadequate facts and the
             ability to implement ethical decisions effectively.
             Ethical decision making requires the ability of putting principles
             into action. Congruity between what we say we value and what our actions
             say we value is a matter of honor ability. Values are interpreted into
             principles so that they can be the best guidance for good ethical conduct.
             Ethical principles are the rules of conduct that are derived from ethical
             values. For example, honesty is a value that governs behavior in the form
             of principles such as, tell the truth, do not deceive, be candid, do not
             cheat. In this manner, values give birth to standards of conduct in the
             form of specific do's and don'ts (Making Sense Of Ethics, Josephine
             Institute Of Ethics).
             While making decisions, it is extremely important to realize that the
             choices we make are to an extent, described greatly by our words, conduct
             and actions. Good ethical decisions are greatly based on the following two
             principles, namely,
             1. We possess the ability to decide what we do and what we say and
             2. We are ethically accountable for the outcome of our decision (Groundwork
