Ethical Challenges

Ethics are what people beleive to be acceptable and okay on a moral level. Ethics are difficult becuase they tend to vary from person to person. There is a usually a fine line between what is okay and acceptable and what is wrong. Anything that is criminal is clearly unethical, but we will be called as educators to make decisions that are not always illegal but still unethical. The pros to being a Christian is that I intend to be morally swayed by not only what society says is ethical, but also what God says is okay. The difficult part of this will be when I truly have to take the harder route and other educators may encourage behavior I do not find morally acceptable. I will have to stay strong to what I beleive to be right and not judge others for their variety of oppinions. I think that the higher a persons ethics are the harder they may need to work, but in the same respect they will be rewarded in the end becuase I know that I have given credit to everyone who diserves it. One of the best things about being an educator in todays society is all of the resources, there are so many ideas out there. We do not have to reinvent the wheel, just give credit for work that does not belong to you!
