My morals and ethics are very positive because I am always working and at home most of the time so my family has a huge impact on me. I am always taking care of my grandma and siblings even though my two jobs take a lot of time outa the day. I know that my hard work ethic will reward me in the future because I am not burnt out yet, and I want to give my small family everything they deserve. I have a high standard on my morals because I have to set an example for my three younger sisters, and I work at a nursing home so I definitely know what is right and what is wrong. In the last 5 years my morals and ethics have definitely changed. I used to be very self-centered and selfish, but now I think about everyone. I also used to get very agitated and act very rude, but I learned that I won’t keep any friends if I had kept acting that way. At some point in the last 5 years I was very depressed and noticed I was always seeing the negative side of things, so I promised myself to become an optimistic person. And here I am living optimistically, working optimistically, and providing for my small family

They also helped encourage me to do some of the things that I was scared to do or needed a push of motivation in order to do. My friends essentially helped me come out of my cocoon of shyness and blossom into the social butterfly that I will be one day.…

Our aspects of morals are determined by what we value, but different people with different external influences value different things. Our morals get expanded by experience. If we cause something, and experience a bad effect, chances are, our morals won’t let us do that again.…
