Assignment 3- Nick Joseph

Psychology, the study of how and why people behave the way they do has always fascinated me.  I find the differences in how each of our individual minds work very interesting.  One of the most interesting aspects of this is the study of right vs. wrong.  This is far more than an issue of logic, more so it is one of morals.  It is an issue of ethics.  With this being said, I do not believe in absolute good/evil.  People never get it right 100% of the time.  In addition, nobody is always evil, either.  To me, the debate of good versus evil is a constant internal battle.  Both sides make compelling arguments, but in the end it is up to you to make the right decision.  This all falls back to morals and ethics.  Generally, a "good" person is one who does the right thing most of the time, and a bad is the opposite.  Even good people are tempted to make bad decisions.  Many people would strongly consider keeping a wallet full of $4,600.  An otherwise "good" person may slip up and keep the money.  The truly moral ones would return it.  I would like to think that if placed in that situation, I would fall into the latter category.
