Ethics Thought Paper

Abstract

Leaders at every level must be personally involved in reinforcing the Army Values and Ethics. They must ensure that they are a part of the solution and not a part of the problem. Senior Non-Commissioned Officers are the role models for our Soldiers present and future. It is our ethics and moral values that will become part of the next generation of leaders. As such, we must ensure that we continually evaluate our ethics, values, what it is that makes us professionals, and what it is that we believe in. In order to do this successfully, we must understand what the word "ethics" means. The Webster's dictionary provides the following definition, "Ethics. 1. The study of the general nature of morals and the specific moral choices an individual makes in relating to others. 2. The rules or standards of conduct governing the members of a profession."
