More often there's a compromise between ethics and expediency.

We should aim for our children to be good people, and to live ethical lives that manifest concern for others as well as for themselves.

We see things like reciprocity which are fairly central to our view of ethics. But if you're talking about a set of worked-out rules on what we are supposed to do then, yes, it is a human product.

One thing I love most about New York is the variety of amazing foods you can eat. My all-time favorite is the Chicken Parmigianino at Jean Georges.

It's very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.
