Group 2, this is impressive. In particular, your discussion of how the following factors impact ethics is stunning!
1. Respect - Yes, mutual respect is basic ethics. We, as Kant would say, treat each other as ends in ourselves, not as means, tools to get something.
2. Physical - Yes, how we treat our bodies, or mistreat them, is a powerful factor in shaping our ethics. The wife of this writer is a living example of this, for each morning she goes to the gym. Twice a week she goes to Zumba dancing. The result is a loss of 20 pounds, and a whole new spirit in her. She is, thankfully, rubbing off on this writer too! He is now starting to pay closer attention to his health as a value, ethic, too.
3. Family - Yes, our family is crucial. It is interesting you mention the mother; you mention no father. Boys without fathers are adrift. Maybe mothers can compensate, as you suggest here.
4. Peers - Yes, as the old saying goes, "If you sleep with dogs you get fleas." Adolescents are especially prone to peer pressures, for good or evil.
I love your PowerPoint! Great job, Team 2!
