Abstract
There are many ways of viewing the ethical system and far too many to even
explore. I will give a brief explanation as to how the ethical system is applied both negative and

communities differ and can’t seem to compromise then they have different ethical system and
most likely will be affected in a positive or negative way.

The reason I feel confident about my decision is because being positive is something I practice each and every day. It is very important that I succeed in life and I want to continue to set good examples. I feel it is important to be good for it will keep me healthy, and my loved ones will continue to respect and look up to me for continued advice. It is very easy for us to be negative because we have to work extra hard to be good. The average person feels it is much harder to eat right, exercise, go to school and strive to have a high grade point average and I totally agree. That’s why I said the “average” person they’re pretty much viewed in that manner. I’m not saying it is good or bad it’s just the way of the world and each person is different and thinks differently. I’m also very grateful for everything that is happening in my life. I’ve made a tremendous amount of mistakes in my life time and I’m am glad that I experienced them because I’ve not only
