Code of Ethics Discussion A code of ethics document serves to explain how I as a person act and interact with others. This includes the main values through which I express myself; however, that isn’t enough to understand the meaning of each value, its origin, and context. To get this better understanding I will be describing each value, what did it stem from, and the context by which I believe it pertains to and applies. The values by which I adhere to are as follows: freedom of choice, privacy, innovation, respect, and responsibility. Freedom of choice to me is the ability to learn about my choices in any circumstance and make a decision on these choices without being hindered or controlled by any other person or entity.

Given that I believe that everyone should have the freedom of choice I must also believe that a person is responsible for these choices. And to be responsible is to accept any outcome of your actions without casting the blame on someone else or your personal condition. Through this value a person is able to maintain a sense of self. This sense helps express my values clearly and decisively. This value stems from my experiences growing up. My parents and older brother have always encouraged me to take action but to also take responsibility for my actions: if I ever caused trouble or did well in school I would take responsibility for these actions.This would become ingrained in me and become of my code of ethics by which I have been guiding my life with. And as Mr.s Roosevelt famously said: “One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own
Responsibility is very important for people living out in the real world. It has been taught to us since we were little, but some have either forgotten it, or flat out ignored it. Responsibility, what is it? Responsibility is taking care of yourself and making sure you do what you need to do to succeed at school, work, home, and life in general. Here is a quote from The Glass Castle that shows how irresponsibility is shown, “Mom lay wrapped up in blankets on the sofa bed, sobbing about how much she hated her life.”
Every individual is responsible for their own actions, choices, and behaviors. I cannot think for anyone else nor can anyone think for me. Essentially, I am the decision-maker for my own actions and behaviors. Being accountable for oneself requires someone to be honest and truthful with themselves and others. Sometimes this may seem difficult while other times easier.
I truly believe that it is important to stay human and not become so selfish in the things you are faced with. However, I also believe that if you were to commit and crime or act you should be held accountable for your actions. However that is much easier said than
Do you believe people should be held responsible for their actions, and accountabilities? Even if it’s beneficial or makes the other person happier, or feel better? I believe so because if something you do wrong but you believe it helps you and you makes you feel better as a person someone somewhere else doesn’t agree and didn’t like what you did.

This article on ethics was really interesting and a dilemma that is prevalent within criminal justice. In the article Dr. Steven Davis recognized that students cheating in high school increased by 20% in the 1940 to 75% today. Davis stated, "If students lack ethics in high school and college, then there should be little surprise that they lack ethics in their careers. (2008).

People should be accountable for their action because of their careless mistakes. For example, this person was to excited to go hike at the wilderness and have a good time.

Responsibility means being in charge of your choices and accepting the consequences of your actions. Responsibility means being accountable for yourself, and recognizing that our actions have consequences. Being accountable means to not blame others for your actions or take credit of other’s actions. Responsibility also means showing self-restraint.

For instance… people have chosen this situation that they want to do and they know that they could be held accountable like for example in the story the life of pi, the boy was on a raft with the tiger and they were on each side of the boat but the boy was scared of getting eat by the tiger because the tiger had that look in his eyes of hunger so the boy decided to make a raft near the boat so he would still be alive. They should not be held accountable for this because it is there life and their choosing what they want to do to be free or take something off a bucket list. However... people can chose of what they want to do but they need to think before they do it to test if they are ready for it or that they won 't be scared and know the consequences of what might happen. Also how people even though they don 't know they should have checked first.
It’s independence within the boundaries of responsibility. What does freedom mean to you? To me, it is a gift endowed

Roderick Chisholm and Susan Wolf are two philosophers that deal with the subject matter of free will. Their stances on freedom and moral responsibility are relatively different. In the words of Chisholm he says, “…if a man is responsible for a certain event or a certain state of affairs, then that event or state of affairs was brought about by some act of his, and the act was something in his power either to perform or not to perform.” (Chisholm 598) This means that people are held morally responsible for an act if they “could have done otherwise” only if they had the freedom to act.
