Morality/ethics is the value and rules that we use to determine what is right and wrong. In this essay, I will show you how these concepts of moral ethics, followed by some factors (such as religion, family, education) can generally determine my own view of moral behavior in society and to learn the balance between doing the right things and/or bad things.
As all human beings, I am imperfect, which means like everybody I make mistakes. However, I as a conscientious moral agent, consider myself an honest, caring person, generally willing to do the right thing.
I am generally a good person; I morally try to do things for others, as long I can do it without affecting me or my family. For example I use to dedicate time to others needs. But I started thinking that I was pleasing everybody too much and I never had time for myself. As soon I changed my point of view, my moral now, is thinking first in my own necessity and later in others. After finding a balance in this matter, I feel more satisfied in life.
One of the qualities that I admired the most in a human being is honesty. I am generally honest with myself, my family, and others. I try to be honest because I want others to be frank with me too. For instance, throughout the time and experience that I have gained in life, I have learned a moral way in which I do not have to lie; it is simply to not release so many details about myself and my personal life. That way I close the door for people that ask me personal questions. Then I do not have to lie about details that I don’t want to share.

...tress. My moral in spirituality is to go to church and meditate on the bible principles and apply them to my daily life.
The moral person that I am today has to do with the way I was raised. For example, I grew up in a religious family; my father is a very spiritual man, however, my mother did not follow the bible directives for a wife. For instance, she was very disrespectful to my father. I believe my father’s moral principles have influenced who I am today. I am the eldest child in my family; I have a brother that followed me and a younger sister. When I was a child I always felt that I had the responsibility to care for and protect my brother and sister; which is the reason why I believe that I am a very caring person today. I generally consider myself a rational and impartial human being willing to do the right things and stand up for my convictions.

I tend to be analytical, as previously mentioned, and supportive of others. Upholding high principles of morality and ethics have made me flourish as I have a lot of empathy towards the needy.
Many words can describe my character, but I feel the a prevalent word would be “trustworthy”. I consider it an honor when someone confides in me, and I make it a priority to keep that trust. For example, I was required complete a test one day early due to a planned absence. My teacher trusted me to not reveal the content of the test, and I stuck to that promise. I had many chances to reveal it, but kept my word as a result of my trustworthiness.

..., I try my very best to listen to my conscience. If I was living my life and had no choices open to myself, I would do so much without any regret. Most likely I wouldn't think twice between what is morally right and what is not. It may seem a little selfish but if I don’t have a reason not to, I don’t see why I can’t just live a little the way I want.
...ctive freedoms and choices (Young). We are fighting a fight that we are funding and, when we undress the luxury of all the good in our world, we are looking at the motive behind the goodness. There is a notion that morality requires a spiritual vision and the idea of purity is nothing more than an illusion, but without a spiritual vision we just care for our body before caring for the soul within our body. The insight of spirituality is more than likely deficient in those who have trouble recognizing the true black and white of morality (Young), but the ability to decipher and live by ethical principles is still very tangible. To an extent, it is in our nature to be good, but beyond that it is defined by our believer values. Ultimately, we have acknowledged, and over time developed, a standard of right and wrong that is self-governing and independent of God’s will.
When you 're being honest with people, generally they are trying to be honest with you, so it makes the communication process much easier. I abhor the idea of lying to people just for the purpose of reaching your own goals. Even when he or she succeeds I do not think there can be felt a whole lot of satisfaction from the accomplishment based on lies. Maybe I am sounding too idealistic but I strongly believe that our society would be much better if only people became more honest to each other. Primarily, the issue of honesty is concerned with politics and often we can see many crude and brutal crimes made against humanity, which could have been prevented if from the very start people were not deluded by the politicians '
What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently.

Psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg is widely known for his proposed stages of moral development; he argued that the development of moral reasoning “is a continual process that occurs throughout the lifespan.” (Cherry). Moreover, Kohlberg’s stages of moral development involve three levels, namely: the preconventional moral reasoning, conventional moral reasoning and postconventional moral reasoning. Each of these levels consists of two stages. Furthermore, we will examine Kohlberg’s stages of moral development by creating a character named Ciara. Ciara is a mischievous, temperamental and aggressive 11-year old who studies at a christian school. Throughout this essay we will see how Ciara’s moral reasoning will evolve.
Why be moral? This is a question that I’ve asked myself for many weeks since the beginning of this class. I wanted to know why is being moral so important to some people myself included. This also lead me to another question, which is why is it easier for some people and harder for others to be moral? First, let 's understand what it is to be moral. One definition of moral is concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character. Another definition is a person 's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do.
