It should never be ok to lose your morals because if you even achieve that dream. Someone enviably try will try to take it. Since, you lost your morals trying to build up what you had. It can be easily destroyed by someone without morals or even quicker with someone with morals. 

The Judges in The Crucible lost their morals because they wanted to put people in jail to achieve their goal of proving witchcraft. ]]> 2019-05-28 12:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/maryamsultan17/v930tne1b7v4/wish/363999904 hrishikeshkin9984 https://padlet.com/maryamsultan17/v930tne1b7v4/wish/364000007 Is there any situation where the loss of morals to achieve success is justifiable?

Most of the conversation has been about the negative effect on others when someone around them looses their morals and that it is never okay to loose morals, but I think it is justifiable to loose morals to achieve success if it doesn't effect others. One example of this is when Gatsby sold alcohol illegally.
