When people usually ask where do you stand on the death penalty, abortion, etc. I usually reply in turn that I haven't really thought about it. When reading and discussing all of these texts in class i started to establish my ethical views on worldly issues. My favorite texts to read were: Harrison Bergeron, Cold Equations, Fetching Raymond. In each of these stories the main characters face their own dilemma where they must make a decision of what is right and what is wrong.
" Am I a good person? Deep down, do I even really want to be a good person, or do I only want to seem like a good person so that people (including myself) will approve of me? Is there a difference? How do I ever actually know whether I'm bullshitting myself, morally speaking?" - David Foster Wallace
I think deep down we know in our gut what is right and what is wrong. The hard part is sticking to it. Well, I hoped you enjoyed reading my views on these various ethical issues.
