Final Reflection

For me, the most meaningful concept I have learned about this year has been morals and ethics.  Before coming into the class, I kind of just classified morals and ethics as the same thing and did not know much about them other than just to "respect your morals."  As one of the first units, I was able to dig into my own morals early on and figure out what was important to me and my actions.  Finally understanding what ethics were was just pretty helpful for life in general.  This unit continued to be helpful for me while we studied cases and the Holocaust. I, then, was able to try to figure out other people's morals and ethics.  I liked this because I was able to compare their morals to my own, and if their's were different or strange to me, I could try to figure out why they thought or believed this. With this, I was able to understand more about people's actions. Learning about morals and ethics haven't just taught me something for this class.  After studying this entire year, I have learned how it is important to always respect your own morals in real life situations and it is important to trust your own instincts.  It's also important to try to understand other people and why they are doing something you might not agree with.  I think now, I am truly able to take my in class knowledge and apply it elsewhere.  Doing this, I feel like I have taken the most out of learning about morals and ethics and am very appreciative that we covered this unit.
