Ethics Education To Boost Hope & Humanity
If you boost ethics in the process of education, you boost hope and huma- nity If you remove hope and humanity from life, not much is left. Why are we educating everyone? To promote ethical behaviour and humanity. That's it. But objectives such as ethicality, empathy, enlightenment have gone into oblivion; education is not enhancing the students hope for a good life, ability to have peace with oneself and others, and become ethical members of the society. For want of ethics education that would promote compliance, construction, and inclusion, unethical preachers are promoting defiance, destruction and exclusion. Education without ethics loes not infuse hope in students for a brighter future. It is not developing in hem a sense of reciprocation, empathy and gratitude. In their illusionary worldview, they forget the high price hey have to pay for not being sincere onwards their responsibilities. Intelligentsia is to society what the sun is to life. Education without ethics results in bankruptcy of authentic, humanistic intelligentsia. Ethics need not be a huge education project; small well-intended acts, well-meant good gestures can go a long way to make a big difference. You may begin with the easiest and most intuitive act and then see where it leads. Follow your instinct, conscience or good self, indulge a sudden urge to be conscientious. Ethics depicts simple behaviour patterns telling the truth, being punctual and disciplined, not backstabbing, not indulging in theft, bribery and corruption, and being secular. Education with applied ethics can address problems of growing hopelessness, weak morals, lack of empathy, and low willpower amongst students. The willpower and courage with which we control and manage our thoughts, feelings, impulses; and which helps us continue with difficult tasks-is actually rooted into a kind of moral/ethical muscle lying within. If interest is growing today in learning via technology including artificial intelligence, simultaneously, the ethics of social, political, and professional life is also being looked at due to exposure of corruption at high places, and in busi ness and banking. Corporate houses, media and hospitals have ethics committees. Parliament has an ethics committee. Ethics, a universal concept, has validity beyond the confines of cultural imprinting, and economic, political, social, ideological, historical rhetoric. With ethics in place, the individualno longer refers to any external authority for instructions as to how to behave towards others. Introducing ethics and morals in education would raise hope for a humanistic life, remove exclusionary symptoms, empower people with cultural dignity and make society obliged to acknowledge, respect, prand promote truths of life.
