When I told my parents my dream of becoming a social worker, they told me to do what I loved. That gave…

I chose to do my dialogue with Nicole Tomasello, one of my roommates. It took place at the dormitories before spring break. Her point of view was of interest to me because we are from different backgrounds and have been raised in a different environment. In general,…

Unethical Rationalizations and Misconceptions Discussions about ethical issues, not to mention attempts to encourage ethical behavior, have changed steadily through the expression of common misconceptions of moral principles.
