Assignment 3- Chelsea Avery

To say that there are only two extremes, good and evil, would be absurd.
To begin, people are not born with good or bad morals, they are learned and picked up as we grow older. That being said, it is not possible for someone to be born exclusively good or bad. Events in our lives shape who we become, whether that is a person who would return a lost wallet or a person who would pocket the cash is up to you.
When faced with a situation in which one's morals are tested, you must also consider what else is going on. I'm sure that there are generally nice people who usually will return a dropped wallet who on occasion take 5 when the sign says "take one, please." Or when someone is having a horrible day, decide to take it as a sign from the universe when they find cash on the ground.
For example, one day at work when I found $10 on the ground, I decided to pocket it. Why? Well you see, I like to think of myself as a generally good person. However, when I was forced to work an 11 hour shift at a place that does not pay minimum wage nor overtime, I decided to keep the cash. It just goes to show, people can be good, but that doesn't mean they are always good.
