Alison Bechdel composed Fun Home from personal memories to depict the effects of an absence of ethical codes and values during the early stages of life. In her novel, Alison portrays her parents by outlining their personalities with criticizing descriptions, next reproducing their actions through her personal reactions- exaggerating the experience to express the process in which Alison developed a personal set of values and ethical codes. Alison Bechdel appears to describe her family’s ethical code as an idea that leans further toward the side of no code than toward the side of a one. An ethical code is an agreement with a second individual that is constructed by trust, honesty, equality, and individual rights. However, the type of ethical

Part I – Sarah’s Argument The moral theory that I choose for Sarah is contractarianism. Contractarianism, which has its roots in Hobbes’ line of social contract thought, views morality as being based on contract or agreement. This moral theory states that people are self-interested, and f ollowers of this theory consider that moral norms are determined by a maximization of joint interest, and consent to the beliefs of the society. Contractarianism argues that people are motivated to accept morality because they are vulnerable to the depredations of others and because they are deemed to benefit from cooperating with others.

Ethical and biblical truth are two concepts that are often closely intertwined, as many people believe that the teachings of the Bible provide a foundation for ethical behavior. At the same time, however, there are some important differences between ethical and biblical truth, and it is important to understand these differences in order to fully understand the nature of both concepts. One of the key differences between ethical and biblical truth is that ethical truth is based on principles that are considered to be universal and applicable to all people, regardless of their cultural or religious background. Ethical truth is often derived from reason and experience, and it is based on the idea that there are certain fundamental principles that
The readings stated that applies to ethics asks us to pay attention, to be conscious and conscientious about standing within larger patterns of expectations “taking care” or to act (Weston p.5). In other words, we need to watch and act in every situation whether it is good or bad. Ethics can be challenging for anyone and it can be painful (Weston p.43). I personally agree
I have always strived to set a good example for my peers. I was raised to be a leader, not a follower. I knew if I was going to be a model for others, I was going to be the best one possible. I have a little brother at home who I need to teach morality and stress the importance of treating others well. Knowing that my actions would influence my family, I’ve always made it a priority to be ethical.
These acts are considered ethical as they are good in nature and they both serve the Other and promote the common good. This has shown me that all I need to do in order to act in an ethical manner, would be to make virtuous decisions and eventually develop a virtuous character, which may also be referred to as being prudent, as good decisions will then no longer be decisions, but rather, they will just be first action. Lastly, Aristotle has greatly exemplified the reason why we should be ethical, and that is simply because it promotes the greatest goal of any human life, which is to find happiness. In order to pursue happiness, we must achieve the greatest excellences available to us. When first hearing this term, I imagine that the greatest excellences would include becoming a billionaire, becoming president, living to 120 years old and other things such as these that are seen as great.
Basically, morality is just a guide on what is wrong and what is right, but ethics are our action towards it. To do good and avoid evil. Ethics is what we must fulfill while living. It is like the two roads given to us which is more like to be morality. We have a freedom to choose between these two roads, but a voice will whisper, our conscience, and will tell and urges us which road to follow that is for the betterment of our welfare.
Ethics can be explained as principles a society develops to guide decisions about what is right and wrong. Ethical principles that society has are influenced by religion, history, and experience of the people in the group. Meaning that ethics is based on guidelines we have learned while growing up, that helps us differentiates what is right and what is wrong. For example, some people think health care should be a human right as others think it should only be available to those who can pay for it. Each group of people is guided by the principles they believe in.
The Strength and Vulnerability of Different Moral Views Over centuries of fervent discussion in the moral world, there is still nothing like a consensus on a set of moral views. This essay attempts to outline and critically evaluate two moral views, namely ethical objectivism and cultural relativism. It is crucial to understand that both moral theories cannot be true at the same time as it results in contradictions, contributing to false beliefs. Additionally, it is essential that we discuss these issues with an open-mind so as to gain deeper insights from them. First and foremost, we will be looking at the prominent view of ethical objectivism.
As children, we were taught by our parents that it is wrong to lie, cheat, and steal. As we grow up and enter into the real world with some knowledge of right and wrong, we see, first hand, the importance of ethics as well as its complexity.

We need to learn about good ethics because they guide our decisions, make us who we are, and determine our future.
