Why human beings can be ethical?

-A strong reason for giving stronger preference to the interests of human beings is that only
human beings can act morally. For me this is considered to be important because beings that
can act morally can sacrifice their interests for the sake of others. It follows that those that do
sacrifice their good for the sake of others are owed greater concern from those that benefit
from such sacrifices. Since animals cannot act morally, they will not sacrifice their own good for
the sake of others, but will rather pursue their good even at the expense of others. That is why
human beings should give the interests of other human beings greater weight than they do the
interests of animals

How can you say that you are a moral person?

-In my opinion, there are few things that contribute more to my sense of self and overall image
than my moral character. By definition, moral character is the existence or lack of virtues such
as integrity, courage, fortitude, honesty and loyalty. In other words, it means that I am a good
person and a good citizen with a sound moral compass.
