Ethics is the way your culture believes something for example: Anne Franks family was jewish and they believed in Christianity so they were a victim in the holocaust. I convey ethics in my story by putting opinions in my story.

I think ethics means a decision that is good or bad that is hard to make the right decision.

I dont think that ethics has to do with your culture i think it is the difference between good and bad decisions you make in your life.

i disagree because ethics is to make good and bad decisions like butter flying some one is a unethical decision

I disagree with your answer because the term "ethics" has nothing really to do with your culture. It is about making the right decision when you know both the good and bad side. For example, butterflying an unlocked lock when you know it is wrong is an unethical decision.

I agree with you Maggie. But I disagree with Harrison. Ethics have nothing to do with your culture or what you are.
Bridget, Period 1
3/31/2014 10:42:55 pm
I disagree, because though ethics are a part of your culture, your culture is not all that matters. Ethics are also knowing what is right and wrong and you can learn your definition of ethics from many sources. I also think that the example was more cause and effect than ethical decisions. For example, If someone decided to interrupt in the middle of class that would be more an affect of their friends and possibly their family doing the same, not a result of what they believed.

I don't agree with Kyle because believing in a culture or religion is ethnics not ethics. Ethics are decisions you have to make.

Ethics are the things we do and how we decide between right and wrong. Choosing the best choices in every situation is ethics as well. We choose right from wrong or our ethics from our parents. One wayI can convey ethics in my writing is when I made the Dr. Seuss book with my group. We talked about not being annoying in class or to other people in school or in the hallway. This is ethics because we had the Grinch choose right from wrong.
Carter
3/31/2014 10:37:10 pm
I agree to how you explained ethics and i like how you included how we mostly get our ethical decisions from our parents. I actually think of my dad as a good person to look up to because of all the good encouragement and fun things he does with me.

a ethical decision is a good one like helping some one pick up there books but there is also a unethical decision like smoking drugs or butter flying some one so ethics is the difference between good and bad
Dev Period 1

I agree with Harrison that ethics are the difference between good and bad decisions and choosing the correct one. I agree because we learned that ethics is when we choose right from wrong. A real-life example would be if in school I should do my work or fool around with friends.

I use writing to convey my personal ethics by making a character in my story/ writing piece make ethical decisions that I would make in real life. Then I would make the character feel the way I did when I made that decision and everyone's reaction to his/her's ethical decision. For example, I conveyed ethics in my writing in my Narrative Dr. Seuss Book, I made the grinch face an unethical decision by pranking on students and teachers in TMS. He then made an ethical decision at the end of the book by giving out candy and cards to students and teachers in search of forgiveness of his unethical decisions.
James

Carter Period 1

Ethics are the difference between the bad and good decisions you make in your life. I can use my writing to convey my personal ethics by how i have had to use ethics. In writings you have to teach a reader a lesson so you can use your everyday life decisions like what you should eat to teach them the difference between the right and wrong. In language arts i had to think about what ethics meant to me and that gave me time to think who my role model is, which is my dad, and how they make good ethical decisions everyday.
Cara Period 1
3/31/2014 10:34:05 pm
Ethics are the morals that you have choosing right from wrong it is influenced by your parents. You use writing to convey your personal ethics by you can make your character in the story make an ethical design and do what you would have done. An example of this is in my picture book I made the lorax give back what he stole and that what I would have done another example of this is my ethics symbol I made in LA I chose a rabbit because it was very peaceful and wise and helped other which was very ethical.
Manali S- Period 1

Catherine Period 1
3/31/2014 10:35:06 pm
Ethics is not only your knowledge of being aware of the right and wrong decision, but also being able to choose the right option. Even though it may be very challenging to make the right decision, if you have good ethics, your behavior will affect the people who look up to you, and in the future, your children. Showing good ethics is a sign of being raised by a good family and growing up around people who made good ethical decisions.

ethics are making a good or bad decision.for example stealing is an unethical decision. you can use writing to convey your personal ethics by writing a story about it. for example in language arts we made pictures and a flash cards describing are picture and what does it have to do with ethics.

Ethics are your good and bad decisions. I taught my readers in my Suess book that booking isn't okay. It may make someone react in different ways including mad, sad, or afraid. This teaches them that things that may be funny might hurt someones feelings, depending on the situation. In writing workshop, and ethical decision was a tech-helper helping someone. An unethical decision was someone was playing music in class. These people may of done these because their parents may of done the same. Also their friends may of done this.
Maggie W; Period 1
3/31/2014 10:42:31 pm
I agree that ethics are good and bad decisions. You could have also added that it is knowing both and choosing the right one. However, great response! An example of an ethical decision is to lock someone's lock for them if it is unlocked instead of butterflying the lock.
Maggie W; Period 1
3/31/2014 10:36:32 pm
Ethics are knowing the right and the wrong and choosing the right decision to make. For example, if there is an unlocked lock in the gym locker, you might choose to butterfly it or lock it for the person. It's all up to you. To convey ethics in your writing, you need to write about why it's a bad decision and the influence on others. An example would be how we used our Dr. Seuss books to write about a character learning a lesson from an unethical decision. In my story, Thing 1 & 2 started booking and butterflying everyone possible, and in the end they got in big trouble with the principal, the Cat in The Hat.

1. I truly believe that ethics are the decisions we make good or bad. Choosing the best choice and any and every situation. We choose right from wrong, though the wrong decision might actually be the right decision(depends on the situation that you're going through). A way that I can convey ethics in MY own writing, is when my group and I made the book, "Don't Bother Booking". We talked about respecting and not respecting others property, (books, binders, pencils, pens, ect.). Also booking 1st we described what booking was then we described how booking can hurt other peoples feelings and why people shouldn't do it, in class and/or the hallway.

Ethics are the difference between bad and good decisions you sometimes make in your life. i have used ethics a lot in my story's throughout 6 grade so far. Something i wrote that teaches the reader a lesson is when i wrote a essay on how to be a successful dancer.

Danasia period 1

Ethics is different between the good and the bad, in life. I use writing to convey my personal writing by when we wrote our Dr. Suess books Things 1 and 2 made a bad ethical disission because they were booking and butterflying. So they got in trouble and they cleaned up there mess by not doing it again in school.

i agree with danasia because it is choosing good from bad
Mia Hunter Period 1
3/31/2014 10:51:36 pm
Ethics are knowing that there are a right and a wrong but you choose the right you can use ethics to convey your writing by making the character in your story make an ethical decision. an example of an ethical decision is when your walking in the hallway and you see a lock unlocked, you choose to lock it for them rather to put it on another locker or butterfly it.
Will Period 1

Ethics is decisions that are decided base on your life(parents or friends)
Bridget, Period 1
3/31/2014 10:53:46 pm
Ethics is knowing what is right and what is wrong and choosing the right thing. I use writing like the seuss story to share my personal ethics, for example I believe that ditching school is wrong, and my group chose to make a story against ditching school.
Kayla Period 3
4/1/2014 12:02:13 am
ethics are knowing right from wrong, and then you choose the right thing. Ethics are influenced from family members or friends. you use writing to convey your personal ethics because in your story you can write about a experience you have had where you made an unethical decision and fixed the problem. such as, running in the halls, or falling asleep in class, ditching school ext.
kayla period 3 (didn't finish)
4/1/2014 12:05:24 am
in writing workshop we wrote the Dr Suess story. my group chose running in the halls. the main character got in trouble. There are always consequences to what you have done.
Madison M period 3
4/1/2014 12:19:44 am
I agree with your definition of ethics and how it is influenced from family members or friends. For example, it is the wrong thing to do if you are going to run in the halls or if you are ditching school. By the end of your experience you will realize it is the wrong thing to do.
Sage period 3
4/1/2014 12:24:39 am
I agree with Kayla because she gives the correct definition. Also i think that is i were a 5th grader and dint know what ethics are than i think she would really help me because than i would know and it would guide me. A real world example is when someone bullys someone else and they new it was wrong than that is a ethical decision to do that

Madison M period 3
4/1/2014 12:05:06 am
Ethics is choosing to do the right decision rather then a wrong decision. I use writing my seuss book for my personal ethics for example, i think that cheating and copying on a test is the wrong thing to do and the cat was making an unethical decision and figured out at the end that cheating and copying is the wrong thing to do.
Christina M period 3
4/1/2014 12:14:14 am
I agree with your definition of ethics and your example. Cheating, copying, and bullying are all examples of unethical decisions.
Anton Zambell period#3
4/1/2014 12:20:51 am
I agree with Madison answer, i too think that ethics is about choosing the right decision rather than the wrong decision. A example i have is a time when i have been cheated off of a test, i decided too move my seat and not know that somebody was looking at my answers. nice job!! - - Ethics is the way you do something and why you do it. If someone said that i had a good work ethic then that would mean that i work well. Mrs Laregina has a good work ethic because she has a plan for every day. writers use ethics because the characters can make ethical and unethical decisions.
Sage period 3
4/1/2014 12:06:32 am
Ethics are knowing the difference wrong and right during decisions. An example os ethics is when your friend says there ditching school and ask you, and you say yes, that is a ethical decision when you choose either right or wrong.
Carina Period 3
4/1/2014 12:14:07 am
I agree that ethics are knowing the difference between right and wrong during decisions. You are deciding between right and wrong when making an ethical decision. However, I think you use writing to convey your personal ethics by using the lesson to show what you think the difference between right and wrong is. In our Dr. Suess book, we said that bullying is a bad ethical decision.
Madison M period 3
4/1/2014 12:22:46 am
I agree with your definition of ethics and how it is knowing the right from the wrong. For example, if you ditch class it is the wring thing to do and by the end of ditching class you will realize it is a bad choice.

Elizabeth Period 3
4/1/2014 12:09:42 am
Ethics is basically knowing what is right, and what is wronrgng, so it is really a type of good or bad decision that you choose to make. When we wrote stories in Writing Workshop such as our Suess Presentation, my group wrote a story about running in the halls. In the end of the book, the character made an ethical decision to not run in the halls. I think that it is wrong to run in the halls, so it is an ethical decision not to do that.

Ethics are good and bad decisions that you can choose to make. In our Dr. Suess books we gave an example of an unethical decision. Cheating on a test is an unethical decision. By the end of the story the character learned that making a bad choice is wrong.
Madison M period 3
4/1/2014 12:15:30 am
Yes i do agree with your definition of ethics because for example, cheating is the wrong thing to do and you should never cheat and always try your best and do not do what others think is the right thing.

Ethics are good or bad decisions you make. You can convey your personal ethics in you writing by making your characters make ethical decisions.
Anton Zambell period#3
4/1/2014 12:12:56 am
Ethics is knowing the right from wrong and also being able to choose the right decision. For example, if there was a kid who was being bullied you should do the right ethics decision and tell the bully to back off instead of laughing at him. It's all up to choosing the best decision. To convey ethics in a writing piece, you need to have to write about why it's a bad decision made. An example of convey ethics, would be when we had to write our druses story. In our druses story we wrote about how a man named Kazand loved to bully everybody, then when thing one and thing two came they stop the bullying.

Ethics is when someone works hard for there reward like a business man, he works hard for a pay check. I talk about what I work hard for and other people and how they work hard even if it is very different like I work hard at school and a bird might work hard to survive and that is ethical. I worked hard on this one assignment and I got an A.

Ethics is many wonderful things that is really just having an idea to help others and to not do bad stuff. When you get older every year you make a ethical decision to not do drugs and lesson to what people say if it is helping you and a good idea. A ethical decision is to have a idea that will hurt or upset someone and then decide not to do it. a unethical decision is to do something to hurt someone and to keep the idea and do it. I bet you that every day you make a ethical decision and a unethical decision.

ETHICS ARE KNOWING WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG. YOUR ETHICS ARE INFLUENCED BY YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND PEOPLE YOU HANG OUT WITH OR ANYONE YOU ARE WITH. THEY ARE SHOWN IN CHOICES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU GOOD TO THE FOOD STORE AND THE CASHIER FORGETS SOMETHING IN THE CART AND DOES NOT RING IT UP THEN AN ETHICAL CHOICE WOULD BE TO GO BACK TO THE STORE AND PAY FOR IT. BUT AN UNETHICAL DECISION WOULD BE TO JUST KEEP IT.

Ethics are moral principles that govern a person's or group's behavior. I use writing to convey my ethics by applying my personal ethics to my characters. For example, I usually decide on the characters decisions based on my ethics.

I disagree with Love, because ethics aren't necessarily good or bad decisions. I often hear about bad ethics. 4/1/2014 12:46:10 am
i think ethics is choosing right from wrong. how you use writing to convey personal ethics is when i wrote about a quote in an expository essay. like be nice to everyone because the people you meet on the way up are the same people you meet on the way down.
Julia S Period 4
4/1/2014 12:52:09 am
I agree that choosing right from wrong is an important element of ethics. I also like the quote because you need to make an ethical decision about who you decide to be friends with in the good and bad times. This would happen in real life, especially when you are out of high school and you need to decide who is right for you after all! :)
Che d p4
4/1/2014 01:04:52 am
I agree because ethics is about wrong and right decisions. As a real life example i would use if you see something in the store you want but you don't have enough money the ethical decision would to be to ask your parents or just look at something else. the unethical decision is to take it and steal it from the store.

sophia P4
4/1/2014 12:51:38 am
Ethics are making a decision by knowing what's right or wrong. You use writing to convey your personal ethics by influencing what type of decision that was, like if it was unethical, you would say something like "the terrible man shot the gun" and if it was an ethical decision, you could say "he put away the gun, and decided not to do his mischievous plan"
Julia S Period 4
4/1/2014 12:55:35 am
I totally agree with you Soph. If you are ethical, you can seperate right from wrong. Your example also displayed ethics because the man was extremely horrible and unethical to do that crime to the little children. A real life example of ethics would be the opposite of what that man did, if you saved somebody's life or something of that sort:)

Ethics are making a good decision over a bad one. You use writing to convey your personal ethics by saying something like "thing one and thing two encouraged him to cut class" which would result in an unethical decision. An ethical decision to convey in writing is, "yertle stayed away from thing one and two because day after day all it was is a bust."
Julia S Period 4
4/1/2014 12:58:31 am
Yes Schiller...I agree! Ethics definitely deal with decision making, whether good or bad. That example really conveyed ethical and unethical decisions because cutting class is a very bad decision and deciding to go to class would be a much better one. In real life, a kid could decide to lie to his parents, which would be unethical just like Yertle cut class.
noah p4
4/1/2014 01:03:27 am

Ethics is knowing right from wrong and the decisions you make. An example is when we had to write dr.suess books about our character making an ethical decision.
Che D period 4
4/1/2014 12:58:11 am
i think that ethics means making a good or bad decision. It is weather or not to do something you might regret later. Many things and people can influence your ethic. The person or people who influence your ethics the most are your parents. If they do something wrong then you will think it is okay and repeat it when your older. Another thing that can influence ethics are friends. If you see your friend whine then you may think to get what you want then you should whine to your parents.
Maddy Period 5 <3
4/1/2014 01:50:13 am

Jake Period 4

I agree with Che becuase she went directly to the response of the first question. Also, I agree with ethics and how it is a right and wrong decision to make. Finally, i think it is a good example to use for this type of question.
Milly P-5
4/1/2014 01:27:22 am
I think that ethics are decisions that you make. For example, Should I or should i not jump into that empty pool? If you said no then that is an ethical decision, however if you said yes then you have just made an unethical decision and a very expensive hospital bill. You can convey an ethical decision in you writing by using a metaphor. You will be telling someone the write choice in a fun and amusing way.

4/1/2014 01:29:57 am
I forgot to add an experience. So in my Suess book, the unethical decision was trying to prank someone because it will backfire and I got that idea from my brother trying to throw a water balloon at me but I caught it and threw it back...

I agree! Your example/ experience connects to the real-world well. Another example can be when someone who stole something from you. The ethical decision would be to confront the person asking for it back. The unethical decision would be to steal something from them.

Ethics are to make a good or bad decision. It may be influenced by your friends, family, strangers, etc. As your role model, they may do something wrong. Since you look up to them, you might go along and do the same thing- make a bad decision. This is an unethical decision. In writing, it expresses what is good or bad using poetic devices and different things. In the end, it shows the moral/ lesson of the story, telling whether the choice was good or bad.

Ethics are real life decisions that kids make based off of a role model or parent/adult. there are to types of ethical decisions which are unethical decisions(thats a bad choice) and ethical decisions(good choice!) I use my writing to convey my personal ethics by in the Seuss book Katie learned an unethical decision not to bully someone back and do he right decision.

Ethics is making a good or bad decision in life. You are influenced by you family because if they do something bad then you might think its okay and do it, this is called an unethical decision. So many thing/people can affect the ethical things that you do in life. I think that unethical decisions lead to consequences but doing ethical decisions lead to happiness.In our suess story, we used an ethical topic, bullying. When Katie was bullied she made an unethical decision to bully the kids back. When she realized how mean she was, she made an ethical decision to confront the old bully's and become friends with them. Thats how I used ethics in my writing pieces.

Ethics are like an ethical decision. Like if I chose to do my homework instead of not doing it that would be an ethical decision because that’s what I was taught to do! I use writing to convey my personal ethics because in my Dr. Seuss book we did not making fun of someone/being a bully so it conveys my personal ethics because I’ve learned that its not nice to do.

Ethics are that decisions that are good or bad. My writing might convey ethics because I could be writing about a decision someone made and that decision might be similar to what I would do if I was the character.

Ethics are decisions you make, there are unethical and good ethical decisions. Making an unethical would be like, Could I go not follow rules or should I? If you don't follow rules, you get punished or grounded.

Ethics is when you make a good decision or the right decision in the problem. When you are in maybe like a food store and you don't have enough money, are you going to steal, or just shop later.

I agree about what you said, so there are influences that make you make ethical decisions/ unethical decisions. Maybe you could say as an example if one of your parents stole from the store you think that its okay ti steal and you do it to, this would be an unethical decision. Not stealing and doing what you think is right is an ethical decision.

1. Ethics is making a good or bad decision.It's mostly influenced by the people around you. Family, friends, or your neighbors. Even just people around you. We all had role models when we were little and probably still do. Our role models can be parents, family, friends, etc; Anyways, not everyone is perfect and sometimes we make bad decisions. Even our role models. So when our role models make a bad decision we may go along with it thinking its okay. That's called making an unethical decision. It tells you whats good or bad about the decision you, your role model, friend, or anyone has made. In writing the main character in a story usually makes an unethical decision and by the end fixes it like the problem and solution of a story. Here's an example: you really really want some ice cream but you're short by a little bit. you've seen your sister pay 10 cents less the other day so you thought it was okay. The unethical decision here was paying less even only 10 cents less. The ethical/wise decision would be to ask for more money or buy something else.

Ethics are knowing the difference between right and wrong, and also having the ability to choose the right choice. These choices could be impacted on by your role models, as we learned in language arts. You can use your writing to convey your ethics. We did that in our Dr. Suess books. We wrote about an unethical decision, why it was wrong and and it showed that we were against that unethical decision. Also, when you write stories with a moral the morals are often based on your own beliefs and ethics.

Ethics are how you work, act or behave. If you stole a piece of candy then i there is a good chance that you will steal something even more expensive next time. Also if I get an A+ on my project i put good ethics towards it.

i agree with billy and hirens and an ethical decision is a choice of making a good or bad decision. one ethical decision i had along time ago was do my homework or my phone taken away and my grade for that wouldn't be good. so i had to make the ethical decision of doing my homework. 4/1/2014 01:48:36 am
Ethics are a good or bad decision that people make. For example, if i stole a toy that would be an unethical decision. I can use writing to convey my personal ethics by when Im writing, I can describe my self and the ethical and unethical decisions I have made in the story.

I think that ethics mean making a choice that will result to be a big change or effect in your life.If you make a bad decision or choice, your life may have a change for the bad. Although, if you make a good decision, you will have a good change in your life, it might make your life better! For example, choosing a good college or career is a big decision you have to make and you want to make sure you make a good, ethical decision. Ethical means thinking it through, and conveying it into your writing could be like my Dr. Suess book, I wrote about not bullying! In conclusion, that is what I think about making a good ethical decision!

Ethics are vegetables, haha April fools. Now, I think ethics are how we choose are decisions based on the way we were raised. We can use them in writing by having a character make a bad decision and learn a lesson. In my ethics story, I had Yertle the turtle get revenge on a bully, yet Yertle was usually nice to everyone.

Ethics are decisions made based on ones personal traits. In writing, we have to decide what to write about and whether or not it's appropriate.

Ethics is making a decision. It could be a good or a bad decision depending on what the person chooses to do. Some ethical changes can be minor but some are major that can change your life. For example in my Dr. Seuss story a boy named Troy gets bullied. But then the Sneetches made a ethical decision by stop bullying Troy because they know it's wrong to do that.

I agree that ethics is a choice of a good or bad choice. I agree because for example, lets say I chose to cheat on a test. that was my choice but still wasn't right. that was an unethical choice I made. the ethical choice would have been studying instead of playing or watching TV.

I believe that ethics are making ethical, or good/proper decisions. To make an ethical decision is to do the right things even when you want to do the wrong thing (man I'm sounding like a perfect angel) to do what might be harder. An example of this in writing workshop would be our ethics poem, (Umm... DUH) in which Max the dog ditches school, and even though he really wanted to run away all in all, he shouldn't of.

Ethics is a way to tell right from wrong. I base it on the personality of a charter or the main person of the story. One time when I writing a story my main charter acted before thinking so this relates to ethics.

Ethics are the decisions you make based on what you think is right and wrong. For example, you might think that stealing something from a store without paying for it is a bad decision, but someone else might think that is okay because of what they were taught. Also, butterflying someone might be something that you think is okay to do but others might disagree. Ethics also ties into your moral values. I use my writing to convey my personal ethics in many ways. Whenever I express my opinion on something is a way I convey my personal ethics. A specific example of that from my writing is in my Dr. Seuss book. The Grinch cheated off the Lorax, and in that action, he made an unethical decision. On the other hand, The Lorax made an ethical decision to study for a big test.

Ethics is making a good decision. An unethical decision is making the wrong choice. For example, a person who was asked to steal something special to someone, you have to make an ethical decision. I can connect ethics to when we wrote the Dr. Seuss books. My groups book was about the Grinch who cheated off the Lorax on the test. After he had to face the consequences.

Ethics are good or bad decisions you have to make. For instance, in my Dr. Seuss book the Grinch made an unethical decision to not study and cheat off someone else's test. By the end of the story the grinch realized he was wrong and apologized. That is an example of how you can use writing to convey your personal ethics.
Lily

I also think (I forgot to add this in my own) also can be caused or based on with you grow up with. For instance if you grow up with someone nice and caring then you turn out to be nice. If you grow up with a mean person you are most likely to be mean.
