Life presents us with many problems and doing the right thing is not always easy or obvious. We are empowered when we (and our ideas) are appreciated, when our wants and needs are listened to and addressed, when we clarify our goals and values, and when we take action to achieve our gals. Expected to exercise rights and to address equity, we must consider our responsibilities to ourselves and to others. It is in this consideration that our ethics are sometimes questioned, and we must decide what is right, what is just, and what is fair. Justice and equality have been and continue to be part of life, and we dedicate ourselves to their achievement.
