I think America has come along way to be more ethical and to show more humanity and humane treatment of one another because of fair labor laws, the equal rights amendment, civil rights movement, fair housing, and laws to protect people against discrimination, age, sex, and religion.  If people feel discriminated against they can just sue someone anymore.  Also, I believe American's on the whole are more educated these days.  But I have known people including myself who have been treated poorly and their civil rights stepped on by those in control and authority.  We still have alot of evil-doers in this country who are very corrupt and we unfortunately still have the "good ole boy" system in our country where money talks.  And with the treatment given to American POW's by our own American military makes me not proud at all to be an American sometimes.  Especially violating the Geneva convention.

You could always use the War currently going on as an example of the immoratily. It seems like the simplest example and yet the greatest if you ask my personal opinion. I'd suggest this since it is such a hot topic, and should be pretty easy.\nMortality... serving the country, the way the government has worked before where it was very patriotic and "rightfully" serving. Et cetera, et cetera.

you could do the current issue of immigration.  There is a ton of information (and opinion pieces) out there right now because it is such a huge issue in the U.S.

Many, many years ago, I once had a boss tell me that he expected more from his better employees than his slackers.  Not fair, but I can understand the reasoning behind it and I also think kinda the same way because some people have more talent or abilities than others and more should be expected of them. Boy, I'm going to get into trouble for this!! What I liked about him  was that he was honest about it.  \n\nNowadays, it seems we have to be careful about everything we say. Where is this screwy country headed? Things like the above could be grounds for a lawsuit I suppose.

What does U.S. stand for? UNITED States. Diversity has it's roots in division and divisiveness. What was once a "melting pot" where people from all over the world came to be part of something great is now a shattered dream with fragments clashing rather than melding together. Diversity is killing America and leaving behind a broken dream and a lost hope. If we don't get rid of the "-" American philosophy we will have gotten rid of America. To me, calling yourself a ___-American is like a married woman calling herself ___-Whatever(Rodham-Clinton for instance). It simply means that the bets are hedged and the old name is still too important to fully adopt the new. Be proud of who you are and where you came from yes, but be prouder of who you became and where you are now.

Is freedom considered ethical? Of course, personal definitions of freedom vary. Basic human rights for all, including humane treatment of animals. I think American society is just like any other in that we all have our own ethics and values. Even in nations without freedom, their is surely a difference in opinion whether spoken or not.\n\nIs it possible you are confusing religion with ethics? Not all ethics are religious. America is home to many religions so we do not all have the same belief system. I think in general we believe in living without taking others rights away - except for the extreme christian-conservatives who do want to take away certain "non-christian" rights because they believe that they foul up our nation regardless of our constitutional rights.

Humm good question. What really matters to me is truth, we're a truth challenged society, and I don't just mean the USA  I mean the global village. On dating sites we lie about who we are, let's not even talk about politicians  ( I think they have a second face surgically installed just  so they can tell untruths more convincingly) even to ourselves we can't tell the truth, we're so used to talking out of both sides of our head we don't know the truth from a lie any more. I don't think we need to be offensive with the truth but it seems these days that only Klansmen and Idiots feel free to be truthful about the way they feel (not that any of us want to hear it). But I think we all need to be more honest with ourselves and each other.

Here is an enormous example of the United States not upholding the statement from the declaration of independance that 'all men are created equal':\n\nAbortion!\n\nUnborn babies are created humans with rights such as life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness but are still lawfully killed.\n\nThey failed.

Try to find some sort of controversial topic, this way, you will be able to find lots of info. But try to avoid overused topics; abortion, capital punishment, etc. Good topics (that do need to be narrowed) might be UFOs, conspiracy theories, free speech(I did one on protests and why they should be regulated). But most importantly, pick something of interest to you. For example, I know someone that likes fantasy books, so she wrote about witchcraft references in Harry Potter.\nYou can get a lot of GOOD info on civil liberties from things like Supreme Court decisions.

why do the (nation) today have (lesser) jobs for the ones who (graduates) and have (more class) than others.\n\nHUH????? I think jobs are offered, in the most part, to people who are well qualified and who present themselves well verbally and in written communication. \n\nSo...school or "graduates and have more class" probably are more attractive to employers who have their pick of applicants. \n\n"i guess some people just think about them selves that's why the world is filled with (ruded) people and violence!"  \n\nHUH? what does this have to do with the first sentence?? employers need to think about their company but that is not "ruded" or violent. \n\nI guess I am confused here.

A decision to go to war is not about ethics, it is about your interests and what is best for your country.  Can the number killed be justified by the end result.  This is very similar to business, the nicest person is usually not the best business person.  "It is not personal it is just business."  "War is not about ethics, it is about business."

Option 1: take a controversial topic and defend one side. (like abortion, immigration, national security, homosexuality, etc.)\n\nOption 2: take a ridiculous topic and defend one side (like "the sky is purple" "people should eat elephants" "convicts should eat each other" "Canada should annex Zimbabwe" etc"\n\nOption 3: take a mediocre topic and talk about it (like "people are good" "I should have an A on this presentation" etc.)

I tend to agree with you on this one.  On issues like race, I think you're right -- America makes TOO much of an effort to be 'polite', when really all that does is separate everyone even more.\n\nOn social issues though, I think being politically correct isn't such a bad thing.  You really don't want to offend someone on something such as abortion or gay rights.  You wouldn't want to call gay people an offensive term.

Ethical issues are questions of what types of policies we should promote as a society, and how we should collectively treat one another. Ethical issues against capital punishment are that society should not kill people, even as punishment, or that we shouldn't take a chance on a permanent, irrevocable form of punishment when there is so much room for error and inequality in the justice system. For example, DNA evidence has exonerated people on death row, and some major studies suggest that race of the victim strongly correlates with whether a perp will be sentenced to death. \n\nI am not aware with ethical arguments for capital punishment, but there are "justice arguments," like "eye for an eye." That's from Hammurabi's code, and early Babylonian code of laws that for some reason, people still use in arguments.  \nI'm not saying that everything about it is bad, just that, it's 4000 years old... haven't we humans expanded our philosophy since then? so there, another ethical issue :)

Well, now days anything can happen if you say the wrong thing and offend somebody. But I agree. Where did the rights of freedom of speech go? And I always wondered why we have to allow blacks into our colleges, but they can dissallow whites into theirs. Isn't that racist? So it's okay for them to be but we can't? Other nationalities have different cultures, therefore we get into different negative situations. If we have to allow for their differences,they shouldn't take advantage of it. They should in the first place realize they came from their country to the United States. They need to follow our country rules, they are not here to start their own country in the middle of ours.
