Assignment 2 Water Park

Water Parks The question of what does integrity mean to me? Integrity is within a person and how they show themselves to the world. A person with integrity is more righteous or has higher morals then others; they are honest even when it is not in their best interest. This person would also have strong ethics like being trustworthy or truthful. I definitely understand a family vacation and how important it can be but when it comes to Hal and Lois’ decision to get a babysitter for Dewey no matter what, does not matter who it is as long as we can go on our vacation mind frame is horrible and I do not see any type of integrity in this part of the episode. Your children whether there are 6 months or 10 years are put in our care and custody and we are their parents and should put their well-being above everything else. Now if I am looking for a babysitter for my kid so the rest of the family can still go on their trip, I would be checking with family or close friends not just anyone. Then again it is a family vacation, I think if my youngest or any of the kids were sick I would have to change it to another day. I would not feel right going to the water park family vacation and leave any of the kids home. In the episode you have Hal’s decision to sneak in the rum so that he and his wife could re-do a missed chance of the two getting away back in the day. The decision these two parents make and I am not saying I am a perfect parent but these decisions are horrible and do not show any type of integrity. In connection to Hal bringing the rum into the water park, Hal and Lois take it further by trying to get some quality time in for themselves and concentrate completely on themselves and let their children run around the water park all by themselves with no supervision, another horrible parent decision in my book. The attendant at the top of the water slide was not on par
