Ethics

I attended this workship back in September 30th so I thought my memory on the workshop might be a bit hazy, but it turns out I remember it really clearly especially since today in Philosophy class we discussed the issue of morality, which made me remember the ethics workshop. The ethics workshop itself was really interesting. The issue of ethics itself, which deals with morality, is already a really interesting topic and I think that the speaker did a great job at presenting it to the audience in a way that was easy to understood. The ethics workshop taught that morality is sometimes relative- that there is no absolute right or wrong answer and everything isn’t black and white. The way we view morality depends heavily on the environment that we were brought up in and is influenced by our parents, friends, society, etc. so it’s important to understand where others are coming from and where we come from when we make ethical choices. What’s interesting to me though is that today in my philosophy class, my teacher argued that morality is not relative; that it is in fact black and white. That’s a whole another topic though, and I suggest that if anyone attends this workshop (which was really interesting), that they also hear the counterargument and read up on why there is absolute right and wrongs in ethics. It’s important to get both sides of the picture.
