How Does Atticus Make Decisions
As made evident, it does make sense for Atticus to take a stand and defend Tom Robinson because of his belief in upholding and embodying the ethical precepts of the Golden Rule, understanding that his actions must reflect this in all aspects of his life, and his courage and integrity allowed him to set an example for his children, who looked upon his actions as a quintessence of an ethical person, both as their father and as a lawyer. Exemplified in the narrative that rivets itself on the choices we must all make in our lives, we as humans have the power to make decisions can advance and contribute to our society, and ones that can tarnish and impede its progress. Atticus proves that even when the odds are stacked against us, we must still make the choice that we believe is righteous, regardless of how difficult it may be. His actions, and the implications of his decisions, prove how choices motivated by morals and values can not only change the world around us, but reflect the type of person we really.
