My definition of ecology.

What ecology means to me. It is the study of all living things and the environment they reside in. Not just the studyof each individually but their relationship with each other. Like a human being, whereas the body is the environment and everything internally, of course, represents all living things. If the body is struck by an object, the skin (environment) will bruise. If the body is struck very hard, there will be a bruise but also a bone (living thing) within may be broke.

My definition of ethics.

My personal definition of ethics is as follows. My ethics are set of morals and beliefs that I live day by day with and guide me through many decisions. These decisions may be simply what is wrong or right or what is the best decision for my self to make. My family and the culture I live within have molded them. Most are set in stone, such as not stealing, being kind to others, etcetera. Other morals and beliefs are changing as I age and learn more about the world and the people in it. The changes, I would like to think, are for the better. The changes to my morals and beliefs are not easy; in fact, they have become more complicated. I feel that when I was younger that decisions were easy, so black and white. Now I realize that that there are numerous shades of gray in between.
