Journal #9 Ethics and Vaules

Ethics and values are very important to have if you want to be successful. They are a moral guide that you can follow andessentially they define who you are and what your beliefs are. They can be either good or bad but no matter what everybody has at least one. For instance, people might not steal because they know it is wrong and they will tell you it is against their morals to steal. However, every person has many different variations and different outlooks on morales.

For instance, I think stealing is wrong and you should not do it. Al Capone might disagree with me if her were still alive today because he was a mobster and made alot of money through crime. This is just one example of how people can view morales differently which means that you need to have some optimism when discussing morales with other people. You cannot expect everyone to fully agree with you or what you belive in.
Overall, Ethics and morales can be found everywhere. They simply show what you value and believe in. They can be good or bad and it mostly comes down to individual opinion on these matters.

Even though people may think differently when it comes to morales and values, many of them are viewed basically the same way when it comes to the general population. In America, the majority of the population does not like crime so we want to make sure criminals are punished so that we can reduce the amount of crime in our country. Also, because of crime we agree that a police force is necassary in order to catch the criminals and to protect the population from crime and criminals.

When it comes to morales, anything can be taken differently by other people and seen differently than yourself. The best way to handle this is to look openly towards other peoples' ideas even if they are different and they will generally show you the same respect. Morales and ethics are found in every single culture or community no matter where you go. They are as essential to the human identity as the eyes ears and noses.
