The National University of Samoa (N.U.S.) started last week with its staff training programme for 2017. 

In collaboration with the Samoa In-country Training Programme (S.I.C.T.P), NUS hosted the Work Ethics training.

The four-day course was conducted for 21 N.U.S. staff from the various departments of the university.  

Ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues.

Ethics, for example, refers to those standards that impose the reasonable obligations to refrain from rape, stealing, murder, assault, slander, and fraud. Ethical standards also include those that enjoin virtues of honesty, compassion, and loyalty.

And, ethical standards include standards relating to rights, such as the right to life, the right to freedom from injury, and the right to privacy. Such standards are adequate standards of ethics because they are supported by consistent and well-founded reasons. 

 

The purpose of this training course was first designed and used for 

Objective 1:  To define and explain the purpose of Work Ethics.
