Part II: The Essay
In life, each person has a unique set of moral principles, or a personal set of rules. This is called ethics, which is a very important part of one’s personal life or business life. Ethics are very important for many reasons but most importantly, ethics are a personal trait that is perceived publicly. If a person has bad ethics it can affect other people even though it is carried out by one individual. If people conducts themselves in a unethical way they are not going to be an asset, but rather could be a red flag. Some examples of good ethics are following the rules, being on time, and being honest. Some examples of bad ethics could include lying, stealing, not telling the truth, taking on business behind an owners back, and many other things.
Personally, ethics are very important to me as they were instilled at a very early age. My family raised me to be an honest man and to always tell the truth. From learning this growing up I have seen many advantages to being ethical, and at the same time I have seen examples of bad ethics and how they can affect somebody. If a person is unethical they cannot be trusted, and trust is a critical thing whether it be as an employee, student, or son. Nobody wants to be considered the person that cannot be trusted. For example, I knew a person who worked in a company and was doing unethical things behind the bosses back. This resulted in both the company losing money as well as the individual being fired.
When I hear of these types of situations I cannot fathom what these people are thinking. Ethics are a set of moral rules which are normally very open between the parties because there is not a lot of gray area in ethics. As a student, I go to class, do my homework, do my chores, and live every day of life as if my boss was watching. This makes every action of mine a reaction that is preinstalled in my head through so much repetition. I would never think of stealing money from a boss, cheating, or doing anything that was blatantly of bad ethics. I am a man of honor and would hot want to tarnish that image because where I am from honor is everything.
When encountered with a situation I tend to not even think about the unethical way out of a situation. For others it may be more difficult situation due to the fact that they were raised differently. I know many people who have been faced with options and chosen the unethical route. Unfortunately, I myself have taken the unethical route a couple times, but I learned the hard way as a child through punishment. This is a big reason to why I have such a strong opinion on ethics and will remain ethical, rather than unethical.
