MATRIC NUMBER: 71742

We were asked questions by our lectures, the questions were based on personal ethics. We are very excited to answer this question because the question is based on ourselves and on our honesty. Questions based on some situations such as at school, at home, with friends and in many other situations. This is a very good questions for us, because from this question we can see which situations we have and never have in our lives. We can also asses the ethics we have, whether good or bad.

One of the questions asked is ‘have you ever copy a friend’s homework ‘. Today, issues involving academic dishonesty show a growing trend that undermines the integrity of an education system. Extensive implications can occur, if this phenomenon is not taken seriously. It can affect the education system making it difficult for educational institutions to achieve good academic goals. Academic dishonesty is an increasingly challenging issue today. This increase has occurred over time as this issue has become a problem that has plagued the modern student generation. The study found that the majority of students do academic dishonesty based on factors such as doing so because they want to get high grades and do so for reasons that are too busy with their lessons and assignments. Therefore, a student should not get caught up in this problem, as many problems will arise from multiple parties. Such as involving parents and superiors. That is a description of one of the questions asked. Return to the activity of answering the questions of ethics.

Therefore, questions about this ethic can open our eyes to avoid doing bad and unlawful things. After answering the questions, our lecturer described some of the ethics we should practice in life and the ethics we should avoid. There are also questions about what we should do if we are in a situation. For example, you’re on date and things are going really well. At the end of dinner, your waiter hands you the check. After reviewing your tab, you realize the appetizer you ordered wasn’t included on your bill. What do you do? The most accurate answer is ‘bring the oversight to your waiter’s attention’.

 In this situation we should be good at controlling emotions, because if we do not control our emotions something bad can happen such as fight and so on. Our ethics symbolize our personality, if our ethics are good, the people around us will look good to us. If bad, we learn from mistakes and learn to change slowly. Lastly, I think this test works well for me and my other friends. There are so many values I can get, and so many ethics that I have to improve in myself.
