To be ethical means to have morals and to know what is right and what is wrong. Depending on who the person is, they will most likely have different ethical standards that someone else. I believe that an ethical person has integrity, a caring nature, and a really good sense of what's morally right and wrong.
In this lesson, there was a story of a girl who gave her address to a stranger on the internet. I think that whoever saw her doing that should weigh the pros and cons of telling her parents. I think that in the end, her friend should tell her parents because it's the right thing to do. If her friend ends up continuing her relationship with this stranger, something really bad could happen to her. Telling her parents is what an ethical person should do.
I believe that ethics play a huge role in journalism. In order for a journalist to be true to his or her profession, they need to make sure they have a good sense of right and wrong. If they are researching a story, but they don't believe they have both sides of the story, they should have the morals to investigate further.
