The discussion of the consequences of unethical behavior in the financial reporting process, in itself, leads to other socio-economic consequences. This article explores how financial reporting immorality triggers a flood of other unintended consequences and has detrimental effects on everyone in a community. It is also explained that identifying and finding the causes of social and economic harms is preferable to solving the problems that follow because, as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. 

Since the reliability and reliability of financial reports has a direct relationship with the moral health of its producers, it seems necessary to find the root and cause of immoral behavior, meet the needs, develop laws and deterrent penalties. And also spread values ​​and virtues in society and the workplace. This process will enable accountants to withstand the negative pressures of the workplace, carnal desires, and financial and economic problems, and to choose the path of ethics in two ways.

No doubt, A. J. Ayer is one of the contemporary philosophers who has unorthodox ideas in the domain of religion and ethics. In the domain of epistemology, Ayer believed that failure of “analysis” or “empirical proof” will lead to the meaninglessness of the proposition. Thus conceived, theological propositions are nonsensical while moral propositions are mere expression of feelings and then both of them are considered to be meaningless.

The author believes that a major part of the ideas of Ayer is derived from such analytic philosophers as Russell and Early Wittgenstein. The objective of the present essay is the demonstration of the latter claim through the study and explication of the religious and moral ideas of Ayer. This essay is written based on the method of documentation and analysis. Among the results of this essay, one can refer to the demonstration of the deep influence of Russell and Early Wittgenstein on the religious and moral ideas of A. J. Ayer.

Ethics are closely tied to people’s beliefs, values, ​​and ideals, and custom assumes a special sacredness for morality. The present study attempts to investigate the role of ethics in civil liability law and the ethical aspects of fault and compensation of damages arising from faults. Through analyzing ethics and its philosophy as well as investigating the ethical theories, the present study also aims to investigate the effects of ethics on civil liability theories. Moreover, by examining the contents of the first part, this study examines the principles of civil liability of the transport operator.

Regarding human’s ethical liability, there are two main views in ethical philosophy. First, there is a retrospective view stating that human is responsible for his decision-making power and voluntary actions. Second view is a prospective one holding human responsible for the consequences of his/her actions. Much of the theory of civil liability is inspired by these two views. In the field of transportation, the legal relationship between the sender and the operator of the multimodal transport, under a single contract, is called the multimodal transport contract. The basis of transport operator liability in single-mode conventions is diverse. The basis of liability in The Hague and Warsaw Conventions is based on fault. As for the liability of operators of shipping terminals in international trade (1994), the Hamburg, CMR, CIM, Montreal and the United Nations Conventions are based on presumed liability.

Reason is one of the main elements of criminal proceedings. Historically, criminal justice systems are usually divided into two general types: in the first type, called the "legal evidence system", the reason is only what is stated in the law, and therefore the judge has the right to document his sentence other than It does not have. In the second category, which is called the "system of persuasion of the judge", in addition to the evidence permitted by law, the judge can study other evidence and even evaluate, injure and modify the evidence presented, but the issue that is important and is very important from a legal and moral point of view is the basis of the judgechr('39')s knowledge and how to achieve it. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to analyze science and knowledge from a philosophical-ethical perspective from the perspective of evidence of criminal litigation to provide the conditions for explaining the knowledge of the judge and ways to achieve this knowledge as the most important evidence of litigation.

The knowledge of the judge is one of the positive reasons in criminal cases that obtained as a result of examination, exploration, and investigation of the judge in the referral cases for him. Science can be valid and cited when the reasons for achieving it are legal and in accordance with judicial ethics. Therefore, personal knowledge that does not have a rational and legal basis and origin cannot be a criterion and document for issuing a judgechr('39')s verdict.

It is an applied correlation research. The statistical population of this study was all farmer, 178 of whom were selected as a statistical sample based on Bartlett table and random sampling method. A researcher made questionnaire was used to collect information. Data were analyzed by Pearson and Spearman correlation and multi-regression analysis.

The results indicate that social capital and all its components are correlated with environmental ethics at the level of 0.001%.

The results indicate that the promotion of social capital among farmers can improve environmental ethics and therefore in the end, some suggestions have been made based on this.
