Code of ethics for civil servants of the executive branch of Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

Ethics, as the unique expression of correct thinking, leads to the idea of moral universality or even to the ideal universal form of human behavior, expressed in principles valid for all normal and sound thinking. In the early years of life, ethics is transmitted to us through attitudes and examples. As we begin to understand behavioral rules, the principles that guide our social life are conveyed through demands and punishments. Ethics leads to better coexistence in groups, such as in family, school, work, and society, as it prompts us to act in a morally correct manner. The Code of Ethics serves to standardize and formalize the organization's understanding in its various relationships and operations. The existence of the Code of Ethics prevents subjective judgments from distorting, hindering, or restricting the full application of its principles.
