Ethical obligations
Ethical obligations are the duties or responsibilities one has to act honestly, fairly, and respectfully toward others. They guide behavior to ensure actions are morally right, such as keeping promises, avoiding harm, and respecting others’ rights. These obligations help build trust and maintain integrity in personal and professional relationships, creating a fair and just environment. In essence, ethical obligations are the standards we follow to do the right thing, even when it’s not the easiest or most beneficial option for ourselves.
