Ethics Reflection

I personally think that the news is just blowing out of porportion of what the actual status of ethics are. The only reason why it seems like ethics went out the window is beecause the media reports only the people that break them, not keep them. If they reported every single form of ethics that are in action today, it would be as much as if not more good ethics than bad ethics in the world today. And I believe that trying to teach ethics in classrooms are unnecessary. Children are brought up and follow from parents, and most parents in today's society try the best they can to raise their children, and I think that it shouldn't be government's responsibility to teach ethics to children, and I most definitely believe that it shouldn't be a requirement for graduation. Come on, overall how many students are level headed at teenage years? I'll assume very few. And if you look along recent history, people have done fine learning from their elders and those around them, i dont see why now should be the time to make it federal law for someone to tell the truth, that would be infringing on the freedom of speech to say whatever you want. Answering the question of if its a universal truth or personal belief, it most definitely is personal belief, it's just the fact that people as a society choose to accept it as a universal truth. The freedom of speech would definitely lead to chaos if everyone can say what they want and lie all the time, but the fact that personal beliefs and being a society prevents total chaos. I think the only reason why people want to put ethics in to education is because of the crisis we are in, the war on terror, shady politics, shady politicians, pop culture going down the drain, etc. I believe that after this whole era is over, nature as well as human nature will correct itself.
