Abu Ghraib and Ethics

Abstract

Ethics are the very foundation of who we are as a person. There are different forms of ethics within our society, such as, business ethics, moral ethics, and social ethics. Before a Soldier comes into the Army, most of his or her beliefs and values (ethics) are formed in his early childhood. With sound judgement and solid leadership, leaders are able to tweak and continue to develop a young Soldiers mental psyche. The events that took place at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq are incomprehensible in nature and a huge embarrassment for the United States and the U.S. Army. The United States is looked upon by all nations to set the tone of events and be the standard-bearers for all to emulate.
