Life Is Morally Wrong

Improved Essays
It 's good to have a philosophy in the never-ending story we call life. Through the ups and downs of life, humans keep their spirts up at a high level. Ethics also have ups and downs, as if you give hobo money, are it morally right or wrong? In your own mind, it may be morally right or morally wrong. It all depends on your ethical standpoint in life.
What is life? I ask myself that a lot. To me I see it as a movie, and when the movies done filming, you 're dead. Life is about what you do to live your life. In life, even if you are born into unwelcoming circumstances, like celebrities, you can still accomplish things like giving a hobo on the streets of the Big Apple money. Granted that hobo may or may not have an addiction to drugs (if the

Ethical standards influence my life by telling me what 's right and what 's wrong. Ethics in general is basically a giant grey filing cabinet with two doors, One door says morally right, the other says morally wrong. What decisions you make are "sorted" into said filling cabinet and left for processing later in life. If you do a morally right decision, the morally right door glows green. If you make a stupid morally wrong decision, the morally wrong door glows a crimson red, and an ear piercing buzzer goes off. My most important ethical standard is helping people. Sure this may or may not help me in the long run, but the joy of helping people makes me happy, and feels morally …show more content…
Everywhere you go, you have to trust someone, like if you have a partner on a project and they volunteer to do the bigger part of the project. Trusting so eone all depends on what the person is like, and how well you know that person. If the person is known to not do anything and sits around and plays on their phone, 1 wouldn 't trust the to do that part, because they might sabotage the project and send both people into the depths of failure. If the person was a hard worker that did their work, I would trust this person. A real life example to back this up is 7 years ago, when I was in fourth grade, I never did anything on a project (a group project) and basically my history teacher didn 't like that, then again there was only one group project that I remember. Now I do things in a group project, and help other people with their side of the project. I am responsible because I housesit and babysit (not much), but of all things, I forgot my smartphone (not the one I have now) in my pants and it was washed, and of course it still worked. I would like to become a little more responsible, but just a sprinkle of responsibility in the doughnut of life. Being a leader is important because I like leading people to a win. This would also tie into my feelings about competitiveness and winning. While I am competitive, I 'm also cooperative, which basically smacks more on to being a leader. Out of school, my younger cousins look up to me, like

    The main concept of my life as a professional is showing respect and dignity to everyone in the society, which works as a pillar of my code of ethics. Everyone wants to be respected by others. Furthermore, another thing that is part of my code of ethics is to gain a more empathetic approach towards people with disabilities. It is very crucial for me to treat persons with disabilities with empathy rather than showing sympathy towards them. Another thing that works perfect for me as part of my code of ethics, is being honest and showing fairness in every stage of my life.…

    Life is not a void filled with despair and difficulties as Hamlet has depicted in his soliloquy. Looking at Roger Ebert and Steve Jobs, we can see that it is possible to be content with your life even though it may seem like an unrealistic dream to some. Just because you can’t see it now doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And it most certainly does not mean you won’t be able to find happiness later down the road. Life is valuable; it just depends on how you choose to look at it.…

    Abortion Is Morally Wrong

    • 2 Pages

    Your beliefs make you who you are, and if you do not stand up for them when they are under siege, then you show the true weakness of your values and the lack of courage you place in them. I for one am certain that abortion is morally wrong; however, I am also confident that any person has the right to decide their own fate, even if in doing so, they are ending the future of another. As depicted above, I believe that women and couples should always legally be able to undergo safe abortions because if someone wants or needs something bad enough, then they will find a way to attain it. With this being said, I have and will always defend my beliefs to anyone that questions them, especially about abortion, because I know that if I stay quiet and…

    Life is a very broad, difficult topic to speak about. Often times, people have conflicting thoughts on what they think the value of life is, what the point of life is, or what life is really supposed to mean. Should it be based off of materialistic possessions? Should who a person is or what they do with their life define them? Or should humans simply live as they desire and not put a price tag on another person until after they are dead?…
