When an individual crosses ethical lines they would normally not cross because they possess a strong desire to make the world a better place for both people and or other life forms to live in
Lisa: Kaid, why did you take those documents from Harold's office earlier? You taking things that don't belong to you without consent is wrong.
Kaid: Those documents indicated Harold was stealing some of the products we are producing. We need to show them to our supervisor, so it can be handled appropriately and prevent this from happening again. I'm playing Alucard's game. I know it was wrong to take them without telling him, but we can't just let him get away with this.
Lisa: Agreed...

Get the Alucard's game mug.Two ethical problems that arise when an individual asks someone out. They include:
-The assumption that if you ask someone out, then they have to say yes to the person who asked them out. However, this is not true as it is up to the person getting asked to decide. They should say no if they don’t like you to avoid causing both of you to suffer a lot of unnecessary pain down the line.
-The presumption by one or both of the people involved that it is acceptable to spread bad rumors about the other person if the person asking the individual out gets rejected. This leads to unnecessary conflict and distrust of each other which benefits neither of you. Just because it didn't work out does not mean that they are entitled to spread bad rumors about each other or that you two can't be friends anymore.

Romantic entitlement causes a lot of unnecessary suffering to a large number of people. People should try to avoid making these presumptions about romantic relationships in order to reduce their own and the person they like's suffering.

Get the romantic entitlement mug.1: A political identity where an individual chooses not to support a particular political party. It is important to be careful not to confuse this with being apolitical.
2: A situation where an individual chooses not to take a stance on a political issue, or they decide to establish their own unique political view on that issue that is not being held by any major political party, for any reason. Some people believe this can be a source of privilege, but that depends on what they did, what the issue was, and why they did it.

Practicing political neutrality can allow an individual to have a wider array of options when attempting to address a variety of different issues; as well as ensure that needs and desires of the people are being handled adequately. (To help you understand the GIF I chose for this, imagine the ball is a certain political issue the government would like to address, the two dogs fighting over the ball are the mainstream political parties clashing over which of their solutions will best address the issue, the dog who backed away represents an individual who has chosen not take a stance on that issue, and the dog who stuck their head in between the two dogs heads represents an individual who has made their own unique view on that issue because they don't agree with the views held by either of the political parties fighting over the ball.)

Get the Political neutrality mug.A gesture to when the government finds out a particular individual has died and, as a result of them finding out, that individual’s rights change. This change consists in them permanently losing some of their legal rights and protections; as well as having many of their other rights and protections significantly weakened.
Kade: Where were you last Friday? You never showed to attend the meeting we had scheduled to talk about our group project.
Hannah: Sorry about that. My mom died of cardiac arrest and I had to deal with all of the government paperwork related to her owing taxes, make her burial arrangements, get a legal pronouncement of death to begin the work necessary to acquire death certificates for her, tell all of my relatives about her passing, and arrange for her pet cat to find a new home.
Kade: I’m sorry for your loss. How are you holding up with all of this?
Hannah: I am doing alright. I’ve already taken care of most of the important tasks that I have to take care of. My only major concern is the rights shift. Considering she died, most her legal rights and protections have either been greatly weakened or eliminated; and as her only living child, the responsibility of monitoring the government to ensure they appropriately enforce those rights and protections in the event that certain crimes, like grave robbery, occur falls to me. This is especially concerning given that I heard that a series of grave robberies that appear to be related to each occurred in some of the towns that are nearby the town she is buried, which they have not been able to find and identify the perpetrator yet.
Kade: I can definitely see why you are concerned given the situation and everything going on.

Get the the rights shift mug.The idea that an individual being a supporter of the Republicans or Democrats can give that individual more power and influence than an individual who is a supporter of a nonmainstream political party or an individual who practices political neutrality, because of the fact that most people will be more likely to respect, listen to, and value the opinion of an individual is a supporter of the Republicans or Democrats than an individual who is a supporter of a nonmainstream political party or an individual who practices political neutrality.
Kenny: I heard that Britany had a disagreement with Dylan because some views of his views about climate change didn’t entirely match the views held by her and certain Democratic leaders. They both believe that climate change is occurring, but, because his views didn’t match her views, she refused to even hear him out as to why he held those views and kept shooting down his ideas as to why climate change was occurring.
Isabell: I know that Britany is very strong supporter of the Democratic party and that Dylan is a supporter of the Green Rainbow Party. Britany doesn’t respect of people’s views on political issues unless the individual is a Democrat. A lot of people listen to what she has to say on various political issues, but they seldom listen to what Dylan has to say.
Kenny: Agreed. It sounds like Britany and some other people’s political identity privilege is showing.
