“I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.” - Albert Einstein. Making ethical choices should just be common sense within society. We expect everybody to do the right thing, we want everybody to do the right thing. But what happens when one does something unethical? What happens to them? What happens to the people around them? It never turns out well, they end up destroying everything around them. So, making unethical choices is a bad habit because it hurts others and oneself. When one makes unethical decisions, they end up hurting others.

In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn we see Huck’s father, Pap, making unethical choices. He does nothing but drink, he hits huck and takes his money. Later when Jim and Huck are on their journey they stop by a boathouse, find a dead man and Jim says, “It’s a dead man. Yes, indeedly: naked too. He’s ben shot in de back. I reck’n he’s been dead two er three days…” (Twain 57). Later in the book we then find out that the dead man was actually Pap. They never tell us exactly how Pap dies but I believe his constant drinking led him there. After Huck ‘died’ he would’ve gotten drunk, went out looking for Huck, met a man get in a fight, then end up getting shot. Pap constantly making unethical choices led him to hurting himself, if he just stopped hurting Huck he would’ve never ran away, and if he would’ve stopped drinking his life would have turned out for the better. The Duke and the King never made one ethical decision in the whole book. They just go from town to town just to lie and pull an elaborate con. And finally a town had enough of this and Huck saw it when he was walking with Tom Sawyer. Huck states, “I knowed it WAS the King and the Duke, though they was all over tar and feathers, and didn’t look nothing in the world that was human…”(Twain 223). Since the Duke and the King tried to con another town and steal their money they got one of the worst punishments imaginable and it was all their fault. Every other town they got away just in time before getting in trouble so they thought they were alright, but lying and stealing is unethical. If the Duke and the King tried to gain money the right way, through hard work and determination, then they would never have been tarred and feathered. Through lying and stealing, the Duke and the King put themselves in a lot of trouble. In Huck finn we see a feud between the Shephardsons and the Grangerfords. Buck, one of the
