What is ethics?

Ethics is a sphere of philosophy that apply for definition of what is good
and what is bad. Moreover, it determinates rules of good behavior, proper
lifestyle. Ethics establishes the standards of our life, shows us the right
direction in a every day life.

Political life

Being a politician means mainly to be a member of some social group in which
people have the same values. But as it’s widely known everyone of us
different. And what if one member of our group does something against the law? Do
we have to punish him? Or should we keep it for ourselves? That situation
often happens in a political world nowadays. Today it is hard to notice examples
of a superiority ethics above political interest. Politicians often forget
that they are spokesman for a big group of electors and do only things that
can help them to earn more money.

Some examples of unethical practices

- putting family members on high positions in big companies 
- buying votes before election
- gossiping about maked-up stories about other politicians, especially from
other party
- using offensive gestures and words
- behaving in improperly way, particularly in public places
- abusing position for unethical aims
- hiding behind immunity
- making immoral proposals
- corruption

acts in a strange way:
