3.00 Introduction to Ethics

1. What does it mean to be ethical?” Explore what you know about ethics to write a response to this question, providing examples to illustrate the qualities of an ethical person. Using your definition of an ethical person, describe how you believe someone should handle the situation described in this lesson. Explain how you came to your conclusion.

Being "ethical" is having a good set of morals. Examples of this would be opening the door for the person behind you, returning the money dropped from a person, telling the truth, helping out a fellow friend and giving out factual information. I believe the situation in this lesson should be handled by telling on your friend. Its the ethical thing to do because it will keep your friend safe and its telling the truth to the persons parents. I came to the conclusion because seriously its a terrible example. 

2. “How do ethics apply to journalism?” Now that you have defined an ethical person, write a short response about how you believe ethics plays a part in the presentation of the news.

Ethics apply to journalism because they have to be ethical accepted. When you are ethical accepted people expect you to tell you the truth. Ethics play a part in journalism because when they present news they are always having to be ethical. They have to dress nice and carry themselves well.  They also have to tell factual information.
