When you were a child your parents always told you what was right and what was wrong, which seemed pretty simple at the time. As we grew older and matured, our parents weren’t there for us all the time to tell us right from wrong, so we started to cross the line between good and bad quiet often, making bad decisions most of us regret. Even when we become adults or even grandparents we will not always know what we are doing is the right thing to do. By doing this assignment, “White, Black, and Shades of Gray”, where we made our own moral scale based on our previous experience really opened my eyes to my past experiences, life, values, and morals.
As I made my moral scale, I needed to bring up experiences in the past where I want to keep hidden in the back of my mind because I was ashamed of what I had done. By bringing up these past actions, I felt disappointed in myself and my choices. But in doing so, I have been able to reflect on my experiences and what I have learned from each one. By doing this I realized that I have grown from all of these good and bad decisions I made. I realized that we will continue to make decisions in the future whether we are right or wrong that will allow us to continue to mature and learn from each one making us better people.
