Essay on Amy's Bread

The ideology that they will be accepted into a society and embrace American identities has driven them to this process.

I previously knew a lot about the topic on the residential school system in Canada, and how it impacted many people. I realized that actually hearing someone telling their story on this issue makes it much more horrifying than the information found on the internet.

The short story “Bread” by Margaret Atwood describes different ethical dilemmas in which the reader is given different scenarios in which they must make a choice that can only come by deciding what their ethics are.

Out of these different approaches highlighted in “A Framework for Thinking Ethically”, the utilitarian approach along with the virtue approach would be best for solving the dilemmas presented in “Bread”.
