Conclusion
The author with whom we agreed was Gustavo Escobar since he specifies that man cannot always decide whether to do things right or
wrong since there are factors that come to affect such action as for example: A lawyer has to do everything to defend his client no
matter what he is saying whether it is true or false, we must think of all the people who lie for their own good another example a mother
has a thief son she will not want her daughter to go to jail even when he is guilty of committing a crime depends on his "morals" another
mother may be willing to give her son even though she knows she will never see him again. Ethics is everywhere and although most
people know what is good or bad, most people do good or bad depending on their favor, although this may seem a lie it is true, people
lie in order to get a better job, they do things they should not be allowed to do in order to have a better job or a raise, society is adapting
you to what you should do and what not, people who supposedly are faithful to ethics even fall into temptation to do evil, corruption
today is more common than in the past, life is adapting and the ethical part is gradually being forgotten, little by little it is
adapting.Corruption today is more common than in other times, life is adapting and the ethics part is being forgotten little by little, it is
adapting, changing to people's opinion, we could not say that ethics is the same as it was several years ago, but it is still the same as it
was several years ago, and it is still the same as it was several years ago.We could not say that ethics is the same as it was several
years ago, and the factors will always change over time and will continue to adapt, each person has a way of thinking and each person
thinks and uses the "ethics" that best suits him, no matter if what he is doing is wrong or right, people will always think that what they
are doing is right even if it is not, and that will continue to adapt. It will continue until there is a real change in the world when people see
what is really good and bad, although that is almost impossible because it would totally change our way of living and doing things as we
do, there are few people who do good because they really want to do good and not just to seek fame or to be someone who is not. The
world is a very complex place more than it seems and you cannot force someone to do good or evil the person decides to do good or
evil although most of the time there are always factors that affect the decisions we make to do evil or good. People will continue with
the same as always until there is a real change, we will never know if what we do is right or wrong, it all depends on the type of "ethics"
that we have been taught, there will never be a single definition of ethics, time will go on and in the future we will see what ethics has
become, let's hope it does not get worse.
