In Section 1.2, we will explore the historical evolution of ethics, tracing how moral philosophies have shaped human behavior and societal norms over the centuries. From ancient civilizations to modern societies, ethical concepts have been central to the development of laws, cultural practices, and even daily personal interactions. Understanding the historical context of these ethical frameworks provides a deeper appreciation of why certain values are upheld today and how they continue to influence contemporary ethical debates. This exploration will help students see ethics not as static rules but as dynamic principles that have evolved along with human societies.
