My moral and ethical values have all been instilled in me since birth, so much so that I don't think twice about me possessing either of them. I was raised in a matter that you do whatever you can to help a person out in their situation to the fullest extent of your capabilities, if you feel that it is right. I add the "if you feel that it is right- part only because you're not going to help someone rob a bank or commit a murder, because if you have any common sense, you know that those things are not right and that they aren't part of your duties to be a decent person.
