The Native Americans code of ethics really touched me. They make me realize how sad the world is today and how much better the world would be if everyone would follow these ethics or at least create some of their own. The Native Americans lived by these ethics and were good people. The respect each other and truly care for each other. When I was reading these ethics, it made me think about the trip my dad just took to Honduras. He said that the people there were the kindest, nicest people he has ever met. They were thankful for everything when they have nothing. A smile could make their day. My dad said they lived by their own set of rules and really respect their people and the others they meet. The rules they live by are probably like the Native Americans code of ethics. Both groups understand the importance of life and how to treat people. If Americans could appreciate what we have, respect each other, and follow these ethics, this place we live in would be such a better place. My favorite of the code of ethics that everyone should strive to live by is number one, “Each morning upon rising and each evening before sleeping, give thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone)”. Americans need to be thankful for just being here and for everything we have. We need to always consider what it takes to be a better person and how important it is to put others before ourselves.
