What?... Ethics?

Ethics is one of those things that changes from person to person. It does not mean that one is necessarily wrong, it just means different. Within societies there are many different codes of ethics used. Everyone has their own personal ethics as well as professional ethics. Sometimes personal ethics influence professional ethics and vice versa, it really just depends on the person. Personally my upbringing has a huge impact on the job I want to have.

My mother and father have greatly influenced how I view society as well as the role I would like to take in society. I would like to join the Peace Core after I graduate college, I would like to do PR for an NGO or a company that cares about environmental issues and social issues, not just how much money they can make in a year. I am not willing to work for a company that ignores these issues.

As the vice president of Bobcat PRSSA it is my responsibility to organize fundraisers. This semester I have decided to do a joint fundraiser with a friend of mine to help organize a s a series of events that will benefit the women who were involved in the Indian Independence Movement. The money raised will go toward an event that will be held in one year in India, the event is called "A Time for Peace." These women marched and worked closely with Gandhi to peacefully gain their independence from Great Britain. PRSSA chose to do this event because this is a message that needs to be "heard".
