In order to accomplish this purpose, it is necessary to clarify the Catholic vision about working ethnics according to its doctrinaire, theological, historical and social line, that goes as the foundation point and that can influence the human being in his everyday job. The Protestant vision points about working ethnics can be explained based on John Calvin and Max Weber; that one as its mentor and intellectual idealist and this one as its main social disseminator. We walk through this essay purpose using the researching methods and analyses, in workmanships and documental sources about the subject, in both visions. This task will contribute to the comparison of these two religious current of Christianity; showing the approaches and contrasts; positive and negative differences; as well the contributions that these religious strands defend and spread. Whose facts will help and influence the individual to form his character, personality, dignity and moral; that will reach its apex in the kind of ethnics each one has and shows in his/her life, through work, this way, contributing to build up a more human society, fair enough and progressive.
