September 29, 2017 Officer Beckman, Supervisor Manley County Probation Department 555 Chestnut Lane Bouldercreek, GA 28394 Dear Officer Beckman: When it comes to life outcomes for any given person, there are unlimited people, circumstances, and personal choices that can affect a person and the life that they may lead for themselves. When trying to understand the details that produce any final result, the truth of the matter can be messy, complicated, and sometimes unclear. In most cases, there is not any one thing that caused a downward spiral or an upward shot, but rather a sequence of events, a plethora of circumstances, and a wide variety of people.
The barber would of saved thousands of lives by killing the captain. The barber would of also most likely ended a war by killing the warlord while he had a chance . The cartoon “Mascots” does the right action by honoring someone 's heritage, the song, “Independence Day” does the right action because she stopped the abuse from passing down to the next generation, and in the fiction story “ Lather And Nothing Else” demonstrates the act of honoring your morals and work no matter the situation. Therefore, ethics is how a person acts to see whether the action is good
Secondly, it makes a lot of sense to think of ethics in relation to character as compared to actions or even intentions. Thinking of ethics in relation to character is sensible since an ethical person can best be defined by their tendency to consistently repeat a good behavior. Aristotle is, therefore, right to say for instance that a courageous individual is consistently courageous. One particular action of good behavior, therefore, cannot make an individual be defined as ethical neither can a particular intention. I think the example of tennis is a good one.
Ethics means doing the right action is based on fulfilling rights and duties. Gretchen Peters song “Independence Day”, Hernando Tellez excerpt “Lather and Nothing Else”, and Maura Dickey’s article “Who Will Save the Savior Sibling?” all support the ethics definition of fulfilling rights: duties by killing the father in “Independence Day” because it's virtually justice: by not killing Captain Torres in “Lather and Nothing Else” because it’s virtually sacrifice: By having savior sibling in “Who Will Save the Savior Sibling?” consequently, if the parents didn’t the parents would then have to watch their kids die.

This article on ethics was really interesting and a dilemma that is prevalent within criminal justice. In the article Dr. Steven Davis recognized that students cheating in high school increased by 20% in the 1940 to 75% today. Davis stated, "If students lack ethics in high school and college, then there should be little surprise that they lack ethics in their careers. (2008). " This observation by Davis holds some value, because individuals that is willing to cheat to get ahead, definitely has no problem crossing ethical lines, because in their mind the wrong is acceptable, just as it was when they cheated.
