    “Membership in National Junior Honor Society has become recognized as one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a junior high school student. Membership is, however, more than an honor; it carries with it a responsibility and should be considered the beginning of an obligation, not merely the successful culmination of an effort to achieve recognition and honor.” Not only because it’s an honor or a recognition, but I would like to be a part of NJHS because I’m very responsible and I love helping people and community service. Responsibility is one of the major requirements for being in NJHS.…

    There are many ethical theories that shed light on how we should approach certain situations and how to go about our lives. The ones we have gone over are ethical egoism, utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics.

Thus you ultimately must become a virtuous person to truly live the right way.…
