The Ends Do Not Justify The Means

Through the course of your life I’m sure you have heard the phrase, “the ends do not justify the means.” In the phrase, the “ends” represents a good outcome and the “means” represents the method or actions used to get that result. The most basic definition of this phrase surrounds the idea that one should not act immorally or unethically in the process of doing good. The simplest example is you shouldn’t steal money so you can give it to charity.
