With an emphasis on character traits such as honesty, gratitude, and responsibility, "A Primer on Ethics" calls attention to the critical importance of character development and the role of well-formed conscience in making morally sound decisions. An understanding of the principles of ethics was never more needful than it is today. Children and adults alike will benefit from this reprint of an 1890 textbook on ethics. Written by Jacob Abbott, "A Primer on Ethics" contains the lessons that parents once used to instill moral principles in the hearts and minds of their children - in the days when Americans were renowned worldwide for their honesty and trustworthiness. Chapter titles include: Truth - in which you will find out five ways people lie, and why each should be avoided. Profanity - why it is not only offensive, but dangerous. Obedience - why this unpopular virtue is so necessary. Conscience, conscientiousness, forgiveness, and other values are also discussed.
