Community Essay
There are many aspects of the code of ethics. In this essay I will be discussing how the communities in The Scarlet Letter, Our America, the film “The Crucible”, and my own community experience and interpret the value of family loyalty.
In the community in The Scarlet Letter, I don’t think that people have a sense of family loyalty because I would consider some of my close neighbors my family and in The Scarlet Letter if they really valued family loyalty they wouldn’t have treated Hester the way that they did.
