Ethics

Ethics is defined as a system of moral principles either for a group or an individual. Ethics is usually taught through religion, but it can be taught in the classroom also. As a teacher ethics will not affect my work. It is easy to teach it through rules like be respectful, do no harm, and be fair. These are just a few rules that students should already be following in the classroom. I feel that ethics can sometimes be a touchy subject, but if it is taught in a correct manner it shouldn’t affect the students or my colleges. But when dealing with others, there is always going to issues that some parents and other teacher do not like. So some may not agree with your choices and you just have to explain to others that you mean the best and that you are not having students pick your side.

Some pros of being concerned with ethics are is that you have a standard of living and want to uphold that standard. Also, if you are concerned with ethics you are more aware of your environment and what is going on around you. So you notice things that some people may not notice. Some cons of being concerned with ethics are that some people may think that you are trying to change their views. Some people may think that ethics is not a topic to discuss and some may find it something to argue about. People have different opinions and sometimes opinions from others get in the way.
