With a simple Google search, we can find the following definition, taken from Oxford Languages:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>part of philosophy responsible for investigating the principles that motivate, distort, discipline, or guide human behavior, reflecting esp. regarding the essence of the norms, values, prescriptions, and exhortations present in any social reality<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But what does it mean to be ethical, that is, to follow the moral norms and values present in a society? And, within our topic, how does this relate to design?<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult to determine a standard of what is or is not ethical. There is no right and wrong list that can serve as a parameter for all situations. There are factors, such as the culture of a certain people, that can turn what is considered immoral to another set of people into ethical.  <\/p>\n<p>In any case, for the designer, as in any profession, it is necessary to worry about doing an ethical job. For this, the ideal is questioning:  <b>what are your rights and duties? How do you differentiate right from wrong? What is the best attitude to have in that scenario?  <\/b><\/p>\n<p>The answers to these questions may change depending on the context you are dealing with. And that is where you need to know what values you believe in. Having your own moral compass as an individual helps you to carry these principles into your professional life &#8211; your work, be it a product, a website, a marketing campaign, should reflect what you think is right.<\/p>\n<p>Taking responsibility for what you have done is also an important part of ethics. When you are aware of what you are doing and make decisions based on your concept of morality, the next step is to know how to deal with the consequences derived from your choices.<\/p>\n<p>All this may seem a bit abstract, so we are going to look at some of the principles that will help you understand how ethics relates to the world of design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec855db e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ec855db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfbb7d3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bfbb7d3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d801af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d801af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><em>Principles of ethics in design<\/em><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95998a0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"95998a0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8bcc3c6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8bcc3c6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41f3f2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"41f3f2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<h3>1.

There are many examples of websites, applications, and products that are designed with the intention of grabbing the user&#8217;s attention. However, this is done at the expense of your mental health, as they end up causing an addiction. The designer needs to take into consideration what people&#8217;s relationship will be with his creation, always trying to establish a healthy bond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3dbf1ba e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3dbf1ba\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dab88cb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"dab88cb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1f4fc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1f4fc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<h3>3.

Even our electronic devices, such as our cell phones, store a wide variety of information about what we like, what we do, and where we are.<\/p>\n<p>The ideal is to create a design that avoids invasion of privacy.

We also make it clear that inclusion is not just about accessibility, the latter being part of the former.  <\/p>\n<p>It is the designer&#8217;s role to contribute to a world with fewer inequalities, developing projects with all kinds of people in mind. Ethics lies in the act of being concerned about the difficulties that the user may have and seeking solutions to extinguish or lessen these problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0efb007 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0efb007\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93670e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93670e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<h3>5.

Be concerned with social issues<\/h3>\n<p>There are many social issues that cannot be ignored by the designer. Performing work that reproduces some kind of prejudice, be it racism, LGBTQphobia, sexism, ableism, xenophobia, or any other form of discrimination will have an extremely negative impact on society and especially on the groups affected.<\/p>\n<p>Prejudice may be present in the details, in subtle ways, as in popular phrases that bring stereotypes or inferiorization of a class, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that it shouldn&#8217;t be fought as well! Anything that might cause discomfort in a group of people needs to be eliminated from your design.  <\/p>\n<p>Here, we again reinforce the importance of inclusive design. To be able to respect inclusion, you need to be aware of social causes and what your representatives have to say. Not letting ego speak louder is the differentiator when it comes to serving all users equally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4043ba6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4043ba6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5046f9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a5046f9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-037659d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"037659d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ba0207 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6ba0207\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6e4508 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c6e4508\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h3>2.
