Personal Ethics

Events in daily life have ethical implications that have good or bad consequences , whether we're talking about political correctness or marital obligations, cheating the system or taking advantage of a co-worker. In these instances we need to examine our daily actions for ethical implications and try to live up to our principles.

Peer-pressure to "go along," media influences on our perceptions, television's imposition of shifting standards, evolving sexual practices, complex gender issues, and technological distractions affect our ability to live ethically.
