ÖZET
 Dünya, Aralık 2019'dan bu yana koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 pandemisi ile mücadele etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, sağlık sistemi başta olmak üzere toplumsal ve siyasal alanda yaşanan problemler etik ilkeler beraberinde değerlendirilmiştir. Öncelikle hekimler, kaynak kısıtlılığının oluşup pandemi koşullarının ağırlaştığı dönemlerde birçok etik ikilemle karşılaşmıştır. Bu koşullar altında uluslararası etik kılavuzlara duyulan ihtiyaç açık bir şekilde göze çarpmaktadır. Pandeminin toplumsal alandaki etkileri incelendiğinde, izolasyonun getirdiği psikososyal etkiler bazı bireylerde çeşitli etik dışı davranışları gözler önüne sermiştir. Toplumun kırılgan grubunda yer alan yaşlılar bazı gençler tarafından sosyal medyada birtakım etik dışı davranışlarla eğlence konusu hâline getirilmiştir. Bu durum da bir toplumda ahlaki değerlerin ne derece önemli olduğunu gözler önüne sermektedir. Pandeminin etkileri uluslararası siyasi boyutta incelendiğinde, salgının başlangıcında bazı malzemelerin tedarik edilmesinde sıkıntılar yaşandığı gözlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, siyasal anlamda göze çarpan en büyük eksikliklerden biri küresel iş birliğine duyulan ihtiyaç olmuştur. Çalışmada incelenen bu sorunlar, getirilebilecek çözüm önerilerine birer zemin hazırlamakta ve pandeminin aşılması için ihtiyaç duyulan iş birliğini kuvvetlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yaşanan pandemiden anlaşılacağı üzere etik sorgulamalarla hayatımızın beklenmedik dönemlerinde karşı karşıya kalabilmekteyiz. Bu noktada yaşamımız boyunca edindiğimiz ahlaki değerler ve öğrenim hayatımızla pekiştireceğimiz etik eğitimi hayatımızda oldukça önemli bir yere sahiptir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: COVID-19; pandemi; etik ilkeler; ahlaki değerler; sağlık sistemi
ABSTRACT
 The world has been struggling with the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic since December 2019. In the current study, especially in the health system, are evaluated together with ethical principles. First of all, physicians have faced many ethical dilemmas during this period of resource constraints and severe pandemic conditions. When the effects of the pandemic in the social field have been examined, unethical behaviours have been encountered in some individuals. The elderly, who are in the fragile group of the society, have been turned into a subject of entertainment on social media by some young people. This situation reveals how important moral values are in a society. When the effects of the pandemic have been examined in an international political dimension, it has been observed that there were difficulties in the supply of some materials at the beginning of the pandemic. In this connection, one of the most striking political shortcomings has been the need for global cooperation. The examination of these problems in the current study is believed to lay the groundwork for possible solutions and to strengthen the cooperation needed to overcome the pandemic. As can be clearly seen in the current period of pandemic, we can face ethical questions in unexpected periods of our lives. At this point, the moral values we have acquired throughout our lives and the place of ethical education that we will reinforce with our formal education should also be emphasized in our lives.
