A Challenge to Nursing Ethics

Introduction

Ethics is a set of values ??and principles, inspirations and directions that apply to everyone, because they are grounded in our own humanity. It means to act humanely? The first principle of human action, so called rule of thumb is this: "do not do to others what you do not want them do unto you." Or positively: "do to others what you to want to do to you" This golden principle can also be translated by the words of Jesus, witnessed in all religions: "love your neighbor as yourself." It is the principle of universal, unconditional love. Who does not want to be loved? Who does not want love? Someone wants to be hated or treated with cold indifference? Nobody.

Another essential principle of humanity is care. Every life needs care. A newborn left to their own devices, dies after a few hours. The care is so essential that if we look well, everything we do comes of care or lack of care. If we carefully, everything can go right and lasts longer. Everything we love we care too.

Another principle is of universal solidarity. If our parents were not in solidarity with us when we are born and we had been rejected, we would not be here to talk about all this. If society does not respect the rules on collective solidarity with all, life would be impossible. The solidarity that actually exists must always be solidarity from below, and the last who suffer most. Solidarity is manifest then as compassion. With passion-that is, have the same passion than another, rejoice with one another, suffer from the other so you never feel alone in their suffering, and build together something good for everyone.

Also belongs to the essential humanity's ability and willingness to forgive. We are all fallible; we make mistakes unknowingly and knowingly harm another. How would like to be forgiven, we must also forgive. Forgiveness means not letting the error and hate have the last word. To forgive is to give a chance to the other so you can redo the good relations.

These principles form the ethical and inspirations. Whenever there is another before me, there arises the ethical imperative to treat him humanely. Without such values ??life becomes impossible.

At home everything has its place and them which dwell therein shall order their behavior so that everyone can feel good. Today the house is not only the home of each individual person, it is also the city, state and planet Earth as common house. Here, then, what is ethics. Let us now see what is moral.

The concrete form as ethics is experienced depends on each culture that is always different. An Indian, a Chinese, an African living your way love, care, solidarity and ...
