Ethics Thought Paper: "Senior NCOs must lead by example"

Abstract

What are ethics? How am I to write a thought paper on ethics, if I do not know if you know the meaning? It is defined by Webster College Dictionary as "the system or code of moral of a particular person, religion, group, or profession." Although definitions may vary, in my opinion, ethics are principles we follow that lead us to do the right thing. Throughout my military career, I have been faced with ethical violations from Basic Training to now, as a Senior Noncommissioned Officer. I will express my transformation to lead me to thoughts on ethics in the military.
