Morals vs. Ethics (Week 4)

Ethics are the concept of right and wrong.

Morals are personal standards or beliefs.

Lets use stealing as an example. People steal for 2 reasons: as a need or as a want.

If you steal food or medicine to feed your family or for important reasons the consequences may be equal. Sure stealing is wrong (ethics) but the reason you stole was to feed your family (Moral). Many people can argue whether that person should be have minor punishment, regular punishment or not punished at all. There are many examples of ethics and morals. A strong moral is not killing, but would you not kill to protect a loved one or those close to you? Sure “by law” it is illegal and morally wrong but they could’ve killed you or someone and you did technically do it by self defense and stop a criminal. So those two factors can counter each other very strongly.

My Writing Challenges (Week 3)

I have many, many, many....writing challenges ranging from staying on topic to finding good examples or even something as simple as starting off a paragraph. I do know that my challenges are only from lack of attention and not taking in my previous English classes seriously. I also know that these writing challenges can be easily resolved with some practice and hard work. I hope i can overcome them to pursue my future career as a police detective where not only field work is as important as paper work.

Communicating In High School (Week 2)

I believe there are many reasons for communication in high school career. Meaning everything that you learn and happens here matters out there (the real world). There are many people in your school all of which are range from the ages of 14-18 all of which differ from grade, maturity, athletics and intelligence. Each and every single on of these fellow classmates can either have a good, bad or none at all of an influence. Many teens after the age of 16 can already apply for certain jobs but until the age of 18 where they can apply anywhere, the students need skills that will help get an interview and even the job.
