Other Perspectives

    I've said my piece on the presidential candidates, but it's interesting to see what everyone else thinks. While some people (including me, I suppose) think Ben Carson appears to have the best ethical standards of the presidential candidates, not everyone agrees. Krystyna Owings made a good blog post talking about why she disagreed. Her point seemed to be that although he appears as more virtuous than some of the other candidates, he may not be. She said, "Although Dr. Carson may seem like a ethical candidate on the surface, I have to wonder if we need to dig deeper to find out his truths."
   On the other side of the matter, Dante Hancock made an equally good blog post discussing why he thought Dr. Carson had the best set of ethical standards. He saw Dr. Carson's experience in surgery and his humble appearance as why Dr. Carson has better ethical standards. Dante specifically said that, during the Republican debate, "Even though he was yelled at over and over again, Carson remained humble and quiet."
   It's nice to see that everyone has different opinions on this whole topic. I might not be as into politics as most people, but they say diversity is the spice of life. Getting to hear everyone's opinions and comparing them is part of what makes this class fun and it helps me see some of the concepts we learn in a different light.
