Today in history we talked about ethics. To begin our discussion we talked about three things we knew morally are right and three things we know morally are wrong. After we stated how we got these ideas about morality. After having this discussion I realized that most peoples ideas about morality come from their parents and their surroundings. This discussion lead to where we stand on the thought of war. I agreed with the just war theory because I believe it depends on the situation whether we should go to war or not.
Today in English class we went over the worksheet we did the previous class. We went over this worksheet by discussing each statement, whether we agreed or disagreed, and backing up our opinions with examples. One of the statements that we got into a heated discussion about was Suicide is never justifiable. With this particular statement I disagreed with because if a person were placed in a situation where suicide was the only way to save people they cared about, I feel like it would be a justifiable reason.
While talking about where we got our ideas about morality in history today, it reminded me of a topic we discussed from Wuthering Heights last year in English class. This topic is Nature VS Nurture. I though of this topic because when asked this question, the majority of the class said thier morals came from their parents and surroundings. This proves the nurture theory, that people are not born a certain way but are taught to behave that way, because the majority of the class learned the way they think from how they were raised.
