Parties Walking up the stairs to this loud, crowded, messy house, where tonight’s ‘phat’ party is being held. I take in the horrible smell of burning tobacco floating through the air being produced by young adolescents who have their 12oz. in one hand, and their Marlboro burning in the other. Black lungs, lung cancer, and that terrible smokers cough is all I can think of as I walk past these kids to one of my high school buddies who enjoys getting his pack-a-day of nicotine, tar filled cancer

thinking that cannot be changed. As I have thought through this assignment over the last few weeks I have done some reflect on my own philosophy of education and come to some different conclusions.

I became interested in the topic of Ethics of Education because of my struggle with relativism. Holding up the classic trope of the family political arguments, every time I interact with my brother, dad, or mom, we seem to fundamentally disagree on topics including: race, abortions, class, etc. If I was unable to come to a conclusion on how to answer, my brother uses my political stance to put my morality and ethics into questions. Frustrated by his ability to back his arguments with his law school
