Ethics and Applied Ethics
Ethics and applied ethics is one of the broadest and best-known areas of philosophical thought. This discipline examines how general moral rules apply to specific situations in individual, social and professional life. Ethical problems arise frequently in many fields such as medicine, technology, business, media and law, and applied ethics aims to develop solutions to these problems.
Medical ethics and bioethics address ethical issues related to the beginning and end of life, organ transplantation, genetic engineering and patient rights. Our association aims to develop research projects and practice guidelines that question ethical boundaries in the field of bioethics. Business ethics, on the other hand, examines making right and fair decisions in the business world and covers issues such as employee rights, environmental responsibility, consumer rights and corporate social responsibility. Workshops and seminars are organized in this area, aiming to raise ethical standards in workplaces. Media ethics explores the ethical rules of information sharing in a digitalized world. In this context, projects and training programs are offered that discuss ethical principles on issues such as media independence, privacy and disinformation.
