A Bright Line Test

It is obvious that, objectively  speaking, there is no ethical bright line test for society to follow. Whether  dealing in Business, Law, Journalism, etc. no two realms have the same ethical  guidelines. What is accepted in one faction of society is not always accepted  and/or ethical in another faction. Moreover, what is accepted in one situation  is not always then again accepted in a subsequent similar situation. What then  is the bottom line? The bottom line is - there is no accepted bottom line. We  all come to our own ethical make-up based on the positions we hold, the  religions we hold ourselves out to be and the experiences we have live through.  What is your ethical make up?

In a 2-3 page paper, analyze how  to ethically guide your life. Do so through determining a set of standards to  live by. Furthermore, differentiate where those standards derived from.  Finally, conclude how you know these standards are right and/or wrong.

Please be sure to give at least  five examples of ethical standards in which everyone should live by. Be sure to  use proper APA formatting including a cover page.
