The topic of our first english lesson, after a 3 month pause, was Ethics. First we had to discuss what ethics is. It turned out that it's quite difficult to describe ethics. Here are some ideas that came up during the discussion about the meaning of ethics:
- social rules/responsibilities
- outside of law
- depends on the standard of living, education, religion
During the lesson we read an article about ethical behaviour. Following are some words from the article I didn't know (descriptions taken from dictionary.com [http://dictionary.reference.com/]):
obesity, noun of the verb obese
obese [oh-bees]
- adjective
very fat or overweight; corpulent.
litigation [lit-i-gey-shuhn]
- noun
1. the act or process of litigating: a matter that is still in litigation.
2. a lawsuit.

There is more to come, so stay tuned, so long,
