Description
Summary:Nowadays one can notice a growing concern in society with the lack of ethical values, something which is greatly due to the capitalist economy which aims at the maximization of profits. Thus ethics has become necessary as a way to preserve human values, even through the elaboration of up-to-date ethic codes, with duties, obligations and punishment well defined so as to inhibit people from performing evil acts.
