Have our discussions and activities changed your perspective concerning ethics in any way? Explain why or why not.

I think that learning about ethics hasnt exactly made a big change in my ethics, although it does kinda of make me think more throughly about the choices I make, and the reprecusions that those choices hold. I think that I have a good ethic perspective.

No I haven't had any of my ethics changed because these are all dead people who have no idea of the world today. If they were alive during my time, then I would consider them. But I don't think the ideas they presented are relevant today because they are too old.

In a way it has, I never knew what ethics were up to this point. This class has helped me look at what the right thing to do in each situation, like killing one person to save ten. Before now decisions wouldnt have needed to be thought about. I would just do what seemed right, but now i would still do the same thing but i understand why i think it is the right thing to do rather than making assumptions.

My opinions have not changed very much. Even though some people have come up with some convincing arguements I still think what i did before.

My perspective has not changed over the past few weeks concerning ethics because even tho people argue and speak there opinions it does not change my perspectives in any way because these people are long gone and are nowhere to be seen.

when we talk about ethics in our class, they make me think about ethics and sometimes I think about if the choice I am making is ethical or not. But for the most part I don't stop to decide if the choice I am making is kantian or utilitarian.

I do not think that studying ethics has changed my veiws on ethics at all. It has showed me others veiws and how they may realate to my own veiws, but everybody has their own ethics.

Learnign about ethics over the past few weeks hasn't really changed my point of view, but it has made me change the way i think and makes me think deeper about the choices i make......

Personally my ethics havn't changed but the way i percieve ethics has changed slightly. For example the girl that was only helping people to get into college not just for the meer excitment of helping people. Before i probably would have considered this to be ethical. But after these past couple of weeks i have come to the realization that this is indeed not as ethical as i had originally percieved, but is infact selfish or as we have learned Egoist.

it has not changed my thoughts on ethics.i believe all that i believed befor still because i believe that ethics is the same either way. It is an unchanging subject and some people have ethical beliefs and some dont.
