You've found the most practical ethics site on the Internet—everything you need to know about ethics, and then some.

ABOUT EXTREME ETHICS

We are specialists in ethics, obviously. More importantly, we’re genuine altruists (that means we work for the love of it, not money). Our mission is to save the world—one truth at a time.

We offer you ethics that has been distilled to the basics—understandable, accessible, and easy to put into practice.

And it's not rocket science. Ethics is ethics. Engineering ethics is no different from any other ethics (legal, environmental, you name it) because ethics has its foundation in truth, the basis of everything in life. One profession's ethical base is the same as another's.

ETHICS

Is a branch of philosophy that deals with moral principles—ideas of right and wrong. But essentially, being ethical means being honest. To be ethical, you begin with honesty—applied truth.

You know that honesty is important. It's the basis of successful relationships. After all, would you hire a liar?

EXTREME ETHICS: UNIVERSAL MORAL PRINCIPLE

Universal (Always and Everywhere),
Moral (Pertaining to Right Conduct), and
Principle (a fundamental truth), truth being the principal
Everything begins in truth. Even lies.

CHEW ON THIS

Nowadays, everybody's entitled to his own opinion, correct? Well, Daniel Patrick Moynihan had an answer for that:

"Everyone may be entitled to his own opinion, but everyone is not entitled to his own truth."

DOING THE RIGHT THING

Truth (and therefore ethics) isn't subject to opinion. It's absolute—something is either true/ethical, or it's not.

So there you have it. Universal Moral Principle—doing the right thing, everywhere, every time.

BUT WHAT IS RIGHT?

You can apply ethics by doing what's right.

What's right is what will work to the ultimate benefit of everyone, everywhere, at all times. It may take some thought.

We can't get all the answers on one page, so we encourage you to look deeper.
