Religion and Ethical Standards


 Religion and Ethical Standards

When I accepted Jesus Christ into my life all the old unethical things that I did before are history. Sure I’m not a saint by any means but it make me feel great to be active in the church and help other that are in need. The Divine Command Theory is what a Christian adopts in their spiritual walk with god. Yes god command us do what is right these principles are taught as sermons in the bible to show us just like Moss, David, Adam we are not perfect creatures. (Banks, 2013)

I try to practice sound judgment but sometimes it hard when you have individuals that are cruel and evil in the world. Even on television in the reality shows the conduct is reprehensible with the fighting, and back biting that they do for example Mob Wives every other episodes someone is getting into a fight. But I guess that is part of their culture my I need to adopt one of the four Ethical Pluralism principles the “Principle of Understanding”. (Lawrence, 1998)

As a law enforcement officer I stand up against evil everyday by fighting crime, setting an example for others to follow, and treating other the way I want to be treated. (Lawrence, 1998)
