Compare ethics and values. Determine how they are different from each other.

The simple answer to your question is that values are
standards, rules, and beliefs by which we live our individual lives.  Ethics on the
other hand are standards created by organizations, businesses, and groups that need for
their employees or organizational member to behave in a specific
manner.


To expand on the concept of values, a person
makes hundreds of decisions daily.  Those decisions are made based on the value system
that person lives by and shares with others of like values.   On the other hand ethics
are more broadly experienced on a society-wide level.  We have ethics standards for
doctors, lawyers, teachers and other professional organizations.  Many businesses have
ethical standards that must be met.  If an employee's value system does not line up with
the ethical standards of their professional organization, then they may not keep their
license or that profession or their job.


There are several
links listed below that may give you more information on this subject.  I hope this was
helpful.
