Abstract

The present study aims to identify the important values in an ethical context and the parties which can influence the development of ethical values in undergraduate students. Subjects in the present study were undergraduate students from Universitas Paramadina with a total of 132 students. This study used a qualitative content analysis approach with an open ended questionnaire consisting of two items. Results showed that the ethical context was around 80% based on the community value through politeness (37.88%), tolerance (32.58%), helping (9.85%), and based on 20% authonomy values emphasized by honesty (9.09%), integrity (7.58%), discipline (2.27%), and positive thinking (0.76%). Subject also described that those values were mostly influenced by family (51.52%), educator (13.64%), friends (12.12%), student organization (9.09%), local society (7.58%), educational institution (3.03%), figure (2.27%), and communities (0.76%). It can be concluded that the important values to the majority of the subjects in an ethical context are in a form of respect and fulfilling others’ needs, and thus indicating community oriented ethics.
