Ethical
Ethical means to do the right thing. Ethics means when your feelings inside tell you if it is right or wrong.
Many times were put in situations to test if we are ethical. Would you cheat on a test if you could get away with it? Would you steal if you could get away with it.
Tell me a time you did the right thing. Or someone you know did the right thing.
