Ethics and morals are an incredibly personal thing. There are several influences that mold and shape the moral and ethics self that a person is to become. Parents, teachers, friends, enemies, siblings, stories and experiences are just a few of the major influences on who a person might become, morally and ethically. It’s these influences that are so important to grow and develop. Based on these influences there may be an exquisite outcome of a moral and just person. However, there may be adverse effects based on the influences where the moral judgement may be flawed in a person. This will be an examination of my personal ethics and how I have come to see myself based on the experiences of my upbringing and how this class has made me view …show more content…
There was also a large focus on being sure and never wholly trusting our mother. My father’s influence is what developed my egoistic tendencies. Egoism is useful for self-preservation.
My mother had a significant influence on me. She was a drug addict who was in and out of jail for the majority of my childhood. There were sporadic instances where she was a part of my life but for the most part it was mostly my father, sister and I. I believe my experiences I had with my mother gave me an example of what not to be as a person. My mother was incredibly selfish and seemingly had no regard for anyone but for herself. So much that when she was alone doing drugs she introduced her lifestyle to my older sister. This forced her to follow in my mother footsteps of addiction and jail hopping.
There is one experience that is the largest and most influential. When I was riding in my mother’s car, she took me to go purchase drugs. This seems downright awful and it absolutely is. However, she took the time to have me hide in the back of her car on the floor covered in a blanket to shield me from what was happening. There are several ethical and moral issues with this situation. My mother had two priorities; my well-being and a need to feed her addiction. She chose to protect me from something she knew was morally wrong instead of be completely selfish and subjecting me to that sight. My mother had a constant need for
Who are the people in your person’s life that influenced them the most? How did they cause that influence? Was it positive or negative?
Throughout our lives we're influenced by many. It can have an effect on the way we view issues within societal boundaries. One of the major influences children have in their lives comes from their parents. The parents of a child can have both a positive and a negative influence on their lives. In the novel "To Kill A Mockingbird", there are two excellent examples of how parents can be a major influence on their children. Atticus Finch, father of Jem and Scout Finch, plays the loving, kind and knowledgeable father. He is an example of how parents can have a positive influence on their children. Bob Ewell, father of Mayella Ewell, plays the drunken, abusive, and neglectful father. He is an example of how a parent can be a negative
This paper explores the things that have influenced my moral worldview. It includes insight on what I consider when making decisions. I discuss who and what I look too when deciding my morals and what I consider to be right and wrong.
My personal ethics have been formed through family influence, religious beliefs, life experiences, my internal reflection and the culture in which I was raised.
The question of ethical behavior is an age-old conundrum. The prevailing issue with ethics is that it is extremely difficult to measure. A person’s moral fabric is largely based on their particular personality traits, as well as, their psychological state and environmental influences. Many believe that ethics are tied to a person’s conscience, and that good morals are often facilitated by a strong religious background. Furthermore, a person’s moral development can be linked to their economic situation and cultural differences. Interestingly, even while examining the status of one’s moral code is challenging; everyone seems to have their own unique array of ethics.
Mrs. M, a nice, sweet lady who was my math professor in high school influenced me the most as a mother-like figure. Mrs. M taught me when I was a freshman, just like Charlie, I used to be lost, confused and scared. She was sensitive enough to notice me in the back of the classroom and would always ask me to sit in the first roll. I started as worried and rejected that this action would bring back many terrible memories of my past when I used to sit in the front and be attacked. However, she'd always be there for me.

The time I just moved to New Mexico, and I started hanging with the wrong crowd. My mother would say “their bad influence on you.” They were because they helped alter my behavior, lying, sneaking out, and getting in trouble, was not my normal behavior. Good influence I have heard when I finally found the right social group, my mother was proud of me; I found a group of positive and motivated people who helped my behavior by keeping on the right track. I watch and learned from their good behavior and reflected off them as they did with me, they gave good advice and bad but it was my decision to pick the right advice. A good social group of people can really be a great influence. You can tell if our friends or someone you just met, are in a good social group by taking a set back and watching their
In today's world, individuals can make a single decision that can have a profoundly positive or negative effect on their family, their employer, coworkers, a nation, and even on the entire world. The life we lead reflects the strength of a single trait: our personal character. Personal ethics are different for each person but for the most part, people want to be known as a good person, someone who can be trusted, and he or she are concerned about his or her relationships and personal reputations. As we go through this paper, we will focus on answering what are ethics, what are your ethics, where do your ethics come from, and how do you manifest your ethics?
My parents have definitely influenced the decisions I make. My parents have always helped to teach me right from wrong. My moral guidances have been centered around my mother. This has benefited me immensely. My parents have and will always be a supporter. When in the midst of making a decision, I almost always ask myself, "What would my parents want me to do in this situation?" I greatly value the teachings of my mother, and I can attribute her teachings to my ethical decision-making. I can also contribute my passion for helping others to my mother. I know I will be a better counselor if I uphold the values and teachings of my mother, who is one of the most important person in my life.
In life you have many people who influence you. Some aare good influences and some are bad influences. Although, the one person who influenced my life most would have to be my father.

Who has been a influence to you? Mom, dad, or anyone in your life? Well, there always that someone or person who has or had influenced you or even changed your life during you past years in your life. My influence is my one and only father. My father has influenced me in so many ways that has actually changed my life. The main three ways were for me to keep on task, keep safe and stay out of drugs and, and mostly, to believe in yourself.
Out of everyone in my life I feel as if my mother is the person who influences me most. My mother is someone who is very sweet and would do anything for her kids as well as her family to make sure they are happy and smiling. As I started to grow up and started to go out and be more independent that is when I started to realize what an impact my mom has on my life. Growing up my parents were divorced and my mom was the one who basically raised me on her own. She showed me right from wrong and guided me and pushed me to do the right things in life and strive for success. As I grew up my mom was always right by my side and accepted my dreams and wanted me to go out and pursue every dream I have. And now looking back at everything my mom has taught me I can't thank her enough! Because without my mom pushing me to succeed, being there for me when times were tough and being a forgiving person I would not be where I am today.
I have many people who influence me in my life, but the person who influences me the most is my Grandma Sandy. I have always been close with my grandma. She has always pushed me to be the best person I could be. If she ever saw me not putting in 100% effort in something she would tell me to evaluate myself and what I was doing. She was always the first person to be there to support me with things at school, things at dance, and other events in life. The fact that I spent lots of time with her when I was growing up probably influenced this a lot. She also lives very close to parent’s business so whenever I had a day off of school or just wanted to see grandma after school I would walk there.
