Ethics

Ethics is a word we as people use to decide what is right and what is wrong. Yet, we cannot explain what being ethical means only because evey person have their own meaning of being ethical. Ethics are really building blocks because your parents teach you what is right and what is wrong very young. As you grow you really start having feeling about what you is doing is right or wrong. Even when collecting ethics you need to be careful because you can easily become confuse with it.

Ethics also rely on your religious beliefs. Which further make it harder for people to define ethics. As we saw in class with our disussion every person their had their own opinion about ethics. In honest opinion to me ethics should not really have a definition. I feel thjis was because when a word have a definition most if not all the people agree with it. Ethics is one of the highest debating topic we has humans have.

Ethics also can conflict with itself. A major conflict with ethics is doing something wrong to help someone in need. For example and true story a man's mother was dying from a disease, the doctors had what she needed, but they could not afford it. The man got tired of seeing his mother suffer that he went to the store where they had it with a gun. So, he rob the store, but only took the medcine for his mother this is very hard to say if it is ethical or not because in my opinion I did not see this being unethical.
