Food or ethics?

According to me food play a vital role in surviving. But we are human not animal. Many of freedom fighters died for us. They has gave their life's for us. They fought for ethics.

They was wanted freedom. If there was food primary thing then, our nation wouldn't be independent. Though food is basic need but if it come from by hard work it would be more testy then if it would be come by begging.

It is true that only a hungry stomach knows the value of food. So we when well fed can't judge the ones who commit mistakes like stealing to feed themselves and their families. Many times we see petty thieves who steal food or steal money just to earn two times meal. We should not be judge ful to them. There may be reasons for that but if this bad habit persists and just to get shortcut incomes then this becomes pernicious. When a person is hungry then he can't think of good or bad he only needs food to mitigate the pain. So the saying that food comes first, ethics later is true for all the senses. Thank you.

Hello everyone! thank you for giving me an opportunity to talk about this topic.

In my opinion, there is no comparison between food and ethics, as both the things are necessary in one's life. Human cannot live without food and if he does not follow his ethics to earns this food then he would not like to eat it. Human's existence is there one if there is food, but in my opinion food and ethics go hand in hand. There are many people who will never compromise their ethics for food, so in my opinion there is nothing superior between food and ethics.

Of course both food and ethics are very very crucial for a healthy society. But if the question is 'WHAT COMES FIRST?', I would just request you to conduct a small social experiment.

Look at that young girl who looks malnourished because she has never had enough to fill her stomach. Her skin is burnt and her feet bruised because she has been begging all day with her younger brother in her arms at the traffic signal you cross everyday. Look at her in the eye and ask her if she cares more about her daddy's work ethics or about the food he manages to bring home that is barely enough for them to survive.

I won't answer this question. Let her do it.

Hi friends, I think food comes first, Ethics later because we can't live without food. In our society, some people are very poor and hungry they always use unethical way to get food, they can't think what's wrong and whats true. You know that when we need some food and it doesn't get any one that time we use some unethical way.

I agree food and ethics are two side of one coin but it depends on situation when we survive in good condition and we do not have food so that's time we always follow first ethics and later food. Ethics are base of our human being we can't live happily and peacefully without ethics.

Thanks.

Ethics plays an important role to get recognized in the society. But food comes first. Food is the basic (psychological) need of human being. If he is starving then he will become weak or unhealthy and an unhealthy person dies daily.

Once his basic needs (food, shelter, clothing) are fulfilled then he will get motivated to fulfill his higher level needs (such as ethics etc).

Well Food & Ethics are 2 very different aspects of human life. Who says that by doing ethical things you won't get food in life. Ethics are the principles of individuals it inherits inside the person. A wise & ethical person will not go on wrong path like killing or stealing for the sake of food. So it all depends on individual's personality and how he is brought up. If you consider the case of criminals & terrorists they have adequate money to survive for entire life but they still continue on that unethical path as for them ethics don't exist. In short I would like to sum it up that Food & ethics are both important of life and which to choose between them all depends on an individual.

For me, food does not come first but ethics. If we do not want to sound ethical, breathe ethical, live ethical, then what is the use of education? For food aka money, we can steal, we can beg, then why to waste both energy and time in learning the a basics of life. Ethics is the gap between what we call a civilized person and a non civilized person.

Hello everyone, Today We here discuss on the topic food is more important than ethics.

Yes, food is important for everyone at least twice in a day, it will give energy, surviving for a long life. But, if anyone gets food by doing wrong activities like robbery, killing someone for few money, doing wrong things by orders from the other person and many more such activities than it will be wrong. Everyone needs such basic thing but you can't do these activities because this is not a permanent solution. Do such things which involves your hard work and follow ethics. And the day comes you will easily fulfil your basic need easily.

Hi friends, According to me, food is very essential for our survival. Without food, we can't alive. If people get hungry first he has to arrange food. Maybe he does not have money he has to take a loan from anyone if it is not possible then he has to beg for food. If I have an empty stomach even I cannot think what is good and what is bad, what should I do, what should I don't do. First, we have to eat to fill our stomach then we have to think. Which one good which one bad.
