"Ethical awareness" is the ability to perceive whether a situation or decision has an ethical dimension.
Ethical awareness allows a person to recognize and understand the different set if rights and responsibilities that limit and guide him or her to act as a morally sound member of society. Values and principles like justice, respect and responsibility, when exercised in every sphere of society - it being school, family life, business and community relationships - promote stable and enriching interactions between ethically aware individuals.
