520 _aEthics cannot be shaped and sustained in isolation. The heuristic process required a supportive environment in which public opinion plays a significant part. In every field of activity, the components of ethical conduct have to be identified and its dynamics worked out. Efficiency, economy, effectiveness, equity and equality of treatment, transparency, purity, neutral, and excellence, among others, are deemed to be commonly the ingredients essential to the conduct of public life. Ethics in more general terms deals with moral duty and obligation. Thus, ethics becomes a tool for searching moral standards. The utility of ethics rests on the fact that it requires one to reason, to analyse and to search for morally correct position while taking a decision or pursuing a particular course of action. Ethics, as an academic area, is a branch of philosophy. The philosophers have studies and argued about ethics for centuries. But our concern here is to relate the term ethics particularly in the context of Gandhi. - Reproduced.
