In our lives, we had and is facing different types of ethical dilemmas, out of them I am sharing an unforgettable incident happened when I was in the 7th grade. Our Social Science teacher was giving the midterm mark sheet. When it come to my turn to receive the mark sheet she told me to stand me aside. I waited there not knowing what was going. Finally, teacher come near to me and told all students that I had cheated on this exam by handing over my exam paper to the nearby student who was next to me during the exam. Hearing this I was totally shocked and embarrassed.At the shock I was blank about what happened and was unable to do anything. From the heart I know I haven’t done anything like that in my entire life.
When the school left I went to the staff room for explanation. She told that in the answer paper it is used two colored pen and the handwriting is different. Hearing all this without knowing what to do and how to prove my honesty I sat there and recall the incident happened in the exam hall. That’s when I remembered that my pen ran out of ink during exam and the teacher in charge for the examination hall helped me in finding a pen from another student. I ran to that particular teacher and told the incident. She understand the situation and calmed me down. She took me to the particular teacher and explained the situation of being two colors in the exam paper. Then the teacher apologies for the misunderstanding and next day she explained her mistake in front of all student.
Here the incident made me ashamed and I inspired myself to prove my honesty.And got a good result. Here I face dilemma between Honesty and Embarrassment. Fight for my honesty and innocence it overcomes the embarrassment.

The concept of presented post is understanding, required improvement in writing mechanics and formatting.

Hi Nisha
What I liked about your first post is you told a story. As you grow in your understanding of ethics and the applied ethics you are speaking to in your post I would encourage you to tie your story explicitly into the concepts. So for instance you talk about the honesty vs. embarrassment you faced. How does that fit into the philosophies of ethics?
You have a few mechanics issues with tenses but we can still understand your meaning.
For example “I sat there and recall the incident” would be “I sat and recalled the incident”.
I would encourage you to take this feedback and focus on matching your tenses for a little while and once you have mastery of this you can adopt another change in your writing. It will not take long if you focus on one thing at a time.

Hi Nisha,
What I liked about your post is the way that your innocent young self had steadfastly hold-on to what you had grown up with. Virtues of courage, honesty, and dedication to what you believe are very nice to see to a teenager (I assumed you were a teenager at the time).
