Ethics are a set of values or principles by which people live. They help to define good and bad behavior. On the one hand, Annemarie knows that lying is not ethical. On the other hand, she and her family must lie to protect the lives of others. Do you think Annemarie and her family were right to lie in the way they did? Why or why not?

I think that Annemarie and her family were right to lie because if they lied to protect the lives of others then in my eyes and the eyes of many others, that is ethical. To elaborate, since the lie protected others lives then it doesn’t matter what the lie was about; if a lie protects others it is bound to be ethical.
