Ethics

Discussing ethics in other classes as well I have pondered the question of how we adopt ethical behavior. Is this something that we are raised with or is it something that we take hold of only when needed? Is it part of our personalities or it is it used only in situations that we need to use it in? Are we ethical by nature and deterred from that, or are we unethical and deterred from that? I think that we have choices in everything we do that is related in some way to ethics. Whether or not I get dressed in the morning is an ethical choice that I make (mostly benefiting those around me, and on cold day, myself as well). I chose whether or not I will contribute in class and whether or not I will make it a positive learning environment for those around me. I have an effect on the daily results all around me. Perhaps these choices are simply ethical standards that I choose to follow, but nevertheless they are important for me as an individual by way of making an effective as well as ethical choice.
