Social implications: How the values ​​that have been embodied form a value system that regulates human life to do good things or prohibits them from doing bad things. The value system has been institutionalized in people's lives. So it is not surprising that religion and culture can also be considered as the main sources of moral values ​​and moral and ethical rules or norms.

However, seeing the phenomenon where a person's orientation shifts when working is more of an orientation to find meaning in his work. So it takes a tool to achieve it. Ethics is a set of moral practices that distinguish between right and wrong. That is, ethics is related to values, good living arrangements, good rules of life and all habits that are shared and passed down from one person to another or from one generation to another.
