Blog 4 Continued
Throughout the span of reading Death of a Salesman, we understand that the Lowman's are very unethical. From a young age we observe Biff and we see how reckless as well as careless he is. Biff was seen as a jock, but often stole and drove without a license , he is also known for treating ladies wrong. A possible reason for biff being so reckless with the ladies is because he caught his dad cheating on his mom with that woman in Boston. Willy's whole life is based off of unethical things. He tries to kill himself multiple times, he takes $50 a week from Charley to pretend he has pay, and he gets outraged when Charley tried to give him a job. When out on dinner Happy and Biff lie about their father claiming that "he is just some guy", this is an awful thing to do with someone that has problems like Willy. When Willy sees Bernard he lies to him and tells him that Biff is making it big out West and happy is big in New York.
Blog 4 Ethics and Etiquette
Ethics are moral principles that make someone's choices in
life. Ethics differ widely from society to society for example people in New
York don't have the same morals as people in Texas. Ethics and morals are
similar in a way that they help you decide right from wrong. Some synonyms are:
Honest, proper, fair, right-minded. The problem isn't with ethics its self it
is when people have bad ethics or don't understand and accept other's ethics.
Etiquette is the rules indicating a proper and polite way to
act. For instance if you are at dinner and someone is seen burping, touching
people with a fork, and taking their shirt off when they get full, this is seen
as very disrespectful and therefore this person has no etiquette. Etiquette's
rules differ a little bit in the U.S. and a lot around the world, in 'America
we have similar customs and culture's therefore we have similar etiquette.
Synonyms for etiquette are rules, custom, and courtesy. The problem with
etiquette is that the rules for it aren't always displayed and some people
don't understand all the rules.
A place where etiquette is needed is at a fancy, formal dinner;
perhaps a date and you will need to be respectful. It is very important to
follow proper ethics and etiquette in this setting in order to fit in and make
an impression of yourself on others.
