Abstract

Humanity and ethics seem to be synonymous. Wherever human existence is discussed, wherever the relations developed between different social categories are explored, ethics become imperative. The source of ethical standards is also important, leading sociology to confirm the existence of countless ethical systems, each claiming to meet human needs. These include Christian ethics, which considers man to be more valuable than other ethical systems portray, and his value is ontologically given through creation. As a result, occupying such a significant place in the universe, man needs moral rules that respect his fundamental rights and provide support during crises and needs. The present article is a brief foray into the perimeter of Christian ethics, highlighting some aspects that define this system and presenting arguments in its favor. The argument is justified, as human society is in a constant search for an ethic that benefits each individual. The present discussion has a general footprint, offering only a few of the comprehensive multitude of the Christian ethical system meant to open the way for easy communication between different ethicists.
