My personal ethics have been developed my entire life. What is right and wrong has been instilled in me since I was born, but what is right and wrong isn’t the extent of my personal ethics. My personal code of ethics is vast and covers a wide array of topics which I hold true to. These aspects are a part of my life day in and day out and will not be changing anytime soon, no matter the situation.
Personal Integrity My personal integrity isn’t necessarily a “cannon” to my personal code of ethics, but it is the aspect that binds it together. I do not want to compromise my personal ethics for any situation or person. It is important to respect my own beliefs if I am to ever respect the beliefs of others.

He states one must tell the truth at all times. I do agree with this when it comes to bigger issues, but I like to weigh my options more carefully. If I am going to make someone upset or if my lie will hurt someone than I will not tell the truth. The example posed in the video required for class was a murderer asking where your family is. I would lie if that meant their lives would be saved. Truth is important, but if it is for the greater good, I don’t think it is necessarily bad to tell a lie.

I come from a small town where we have nothing to do. We have to bars in town and that is it. So what do all the 21 and older kids do? They sit at the bar every weekend getting drunk and driving home. What do the 16-20 year old kids do? They drink at someone’s house and drive home. I can’t even count on my fingers and toes how many kids I’ve went to high school with that have underage fines for drinking. Is that what we want to be teaching our children? If there is nothing to do in town that it is acceptable to drink all night and drive
