I agree with you Nandana. A Person who is very rich but without any ethical values, He is never recognized or respected. A person is recognized with his ethics. Just consider in the world, we Indians are popular for our ethical values n culture, more than anything else. Ethics add value to anything, be it a person or a country.

yes i agree with all but food come first because it the basic requirement of the human being but is ethics is secondary thing in the life of human being ,it is also necessary in the today's world for com-petting with other's.SO,the conclusion is based that food is primary necessary of any human being to live and ethics is the secondary item to earn the money and get food for the family,cliges etc

We are discussing about what we will opt when comes to food or ethics, if we give priority to food that means we may compromise with our principles that may led to become habitual of opting things on the basis of only fullfilling our requrements and inshort, gradually it may total degradation of the humanity. I think we are discussing it so that we can apply it on our real time scenario otherwise our view will be futile so I want to suggest people to think twice that where are you getting your food if it will unethical then I know most of us will choose to be hungry. In our real time scenario food willl be easily avalable to at least survive but whena comes to ethical issue I think it is our assets which we are continously collecting through our whole life journey and believe me it really MATTERS, so never compromise.

The way we think, the same way we present ourself. If gandhiji had not given importance to ethics, we might not have got freedom. It's all depends upon the circumstances prevailing in our life. No doubt food comes first, but to lead a meaningful and respectful life ethics are also important. They must go hand in hand. If a human is made to starve for a day, obiouslly he comes to the importance of food. And due to the high moral values of our great leaders, India has gots its freedom.

In my view, no doubt, food is the basic necessity of life. But in some circumstances or in some relationship, ethics comes first. Take example of a poor family who consist of a mother and her small child. They both are hungry. But they have the meal for a single person only. Now what will the mother do? she will give this food to his child first. And in my view, ethics is the only thing that make different one person from another. And specially now-a-days, when everyone want to rise. And you will get this opportunity if you have ethics. This does not mean, I am against food. But we cannot rate among them if both are present simultaneously in a circumstance. In a situation, where a person has to choose between food and ethics, it depends on his personality, his mindset and his priorities.

I agree with Nandana. Because t situation decides t importance of anyone. One who is starving food alone knows about t importance of it. Once you have t basic needs, you start following t ethics.

I support that food comes first.Even a highly educated person who follows ethics may not follow ethics when he is under hunger.Hunger can make a thief to good at the same time it can make a good person as a thief.Its the capacity of food

If you say ethics to a hungry person he may think you as fool.but give him food and even if you say two words he may be inspired to follow ethics.

As far I considered the ethics must come first and then food, being a ethical person in society represents your character. Today's world is moving with tremendous rate and in this moving world we forget our responsibilities and we simply doing anything for food even we taking the life of others for feeding mouth. There are many examples which I can tell you like naxalist , even we normal people can reach the height of egregious for food.

At last I only say that if you can't make your own food then you should not have authority to play with ethics. If ethics is there then only the world's can run.

Noway. It is clear that food is everything in our day to day life. Also I support "ethics". It has some role in a human being's life. But not so much important as food.

If there is food then there is life. If there is life than there is ethics.

So we can conclude that.

"FOOD MAKES ETHICS. ETHICS ONLY SUPPORT IT".

Nin said:   1 decade ago
It's difficult to choose between two fare things but I will support ethics. Ethics always says that we should distribute food equally amongst the society and should do the proper managment of it. Augmented with it, it says it should not be bring to home with improper ways so that it unbalances the society and will creat difficulties in future life. Some my colleagus said that, you will understand the hunger when you will starve for day but I want to clarify that even beggar earn his money with ethicsecome the he never try to steal things and so maintain the balance in society. But if you break the rule over food then it will solve the problem of one but become problem of many.
