Being ethical is being conscientious about our choices. If we are ethical, we know what things are good, and perform those good actions instead of malicious actions. To be truly ethical, we must be doing it for self-satisfaction, not a prize. Ultimately, one of the biggest challenges of living ethically is to resist the temptation to serve yourself at the expense of others. However, with some effort and an understanding of what it means to live ethically, we can live an ethical life and treat people well.
