...Ethical Statement Most people do not realize that your ethical perspective is very important. These are your morals that can affect your daily life from friends, school, and your workplace. Each person will have their own personal ethics and what they believe in. Most of your ethical perspectives come from the way you are raised and how you grow up. When I did my personal ethical lens I learned that my personal preferred lens is equality and sensibility. I want to make sure that everyone gets treated with fairness and justice in everything that they do. I always was taught to give everyone a fair shot and not to judge people so quickly. I was always taught not to react fast and always think things through. I have learned about my blind spots doing my ethical lens that I did not know before. It says my blind spots are working overconfidence in the process or unrealistic role expectations. I have learned I develop unrealistic role expectations forgetting the individuals can fail at things regardless of their role and that I trust too much in the process. I think having good ethics in personal, professional, and school is a very good thing to have. I believe every situation is unique and I do not believe in judging anyone until you know their story and should be treated equal. My strengths in having good ethics and knowing my morals are to give me a chance of knowing right from wrong. It gives me a chance to be consistent and flexible in my personal, work, and...

...Personal Ethical Statement GEN/200 April 20 2013 Personal Ethical Statement As stated on my ethical lens, I use my reasoning skills (rationality) to determine my duties as well as the universal rules that each person should follow (autonomy). I prioritize the value of autonomy over equality. My primary concern is protecting individual rights. I believe this is the best way to ensure that everyone is treated fairly. I value individual balance and restraint in the desire for pleasure as I seek to satisfy my duties. I know who I am, so it allows me to act with integrity in the exercise of all virtues. My three top strengths are strategizing, Innovating and Researching. I am proud of these strengths. As a professional My weakest traits I believe are communicating and speaking to groups. I tend to be an introvert and my shyness causes me to get nervous. I lack confidence to speak strongly in a group environment. These traits, my strengths and weaknesses, suggest that I’d be successful in a Science based or health based career. Which is funny because I am in pursuit of my degree as a registered nurse. It also shows I could work well in careers where success comes from applying practical skills and where thinking is used mostly to solve practical problems. And that I am most likely to be attracted to very practical jobs and careers. The development of my personal ethics is continuous processes, which occurs as I mature and face different situations in my life....

...Personal Ethics Statement Santana Ludos GEN/195 August 27, 2012 Paul Hamel Personal Ethics Statement People’s morals, values, beliefs and even ethics are a part of everyday life. Ethics are how we actually do behave in the face of difficult situations that test our moral compass; developing our personal character. Knowing what is important to me helps me make decisions that are truest to my priorities or ethics as you would say. The choices we make should be driven by our own beliefs not influenced by someone else. Ethical Lens Inventory After reviewing my personal Ethical Lens Inventory, it proved me right. The Ethical Lens Inventory stated that my personal preferred lens is nothing, which is right. It stated that I use my reasoning skills to determine my duties, as well as rules and the systems that will assure fairness and justice for everyone. Also the definition of ethical behavior in this inventory explained I define an ethical person as one who does the right thing, said I hold this high a standard for myself, but do not judge others who fall short, and that’s not wrong. Values and Behaviors I always assumed my ethical viewpoint is that everything should be fair. In the lens inventory I learned that one of my weaknesses is that I trust too much; I have too much justice for people. I usually forget that not everyone deserves equal access as much as I would like everyone to have that no everyone deserves that. I found out that one of my strengths is that since...

...Personal Ethics Statement Margot Rivera HCS 478 Health Law and Ethics November 26, 2012 Barbara Scheibe Personal Ethics Statement The values that I find significant influences and foundations for my life are honesty, reliability, and respectability. I express these values both professionally and personally by living straightforward, truthful, and keeping promises to family and friends. Values were emphasized and taught to me early in my childhood by a male dominant, Catholic, Hispanic family. My father was a self-educated man who worked diligently to acquire the few comforts he could afford my family. Supporting a large family of seven children made it impossible to be extravagant or irresponsible with finances or in personality. Watching my parents struggle to support the family and working together as a team educated me in the ways of accomplishing goals with good communication, teamwork, and creativity to benefit the entire family. I sought to keep those values in my relationships with friends, coworkers, and family as I grew up and found that I could accomplish more and receive more personal satisfaction when I kept true to my word and commitments. Each definition of personal ethics is different depending on who you ask; however, I see personal ethics as steadfast rules or beliefs that guide each person in decision-making and what defines a personality. During the many years I have worked in the emergency room, I have encountered many situations that left me...

...Personal Ethics Statement What does living ethically mean to me? When I think of my answer to this question, two words come to mind immediately; integrity and honesty. Those two are followed quickly by fairness, respect and responsibility. These five words make up my core values and by parallel my personal ethics. Words I do my best to represent and live up to each and every day. Responsibility - Who am I? I am a daughter, sister, niece, aunt, friend, associate and leader. Within my family roles, I feel I have an obligation to be there for my family and set an example for my nieces and nephews. Helping them grow into the best people they can be by sharing my beliefs and principles with them. At work, I have accountability to my employer to keep the enterprise’s best interest in mind with each decision I make with regard to access to our data and functions within the systems. Fairness - I grew up in a family where fairness was a very important value. There were five children in our family and while sometimes one of us would have an opportunity to do or have something, there was always a turn in the future for another sibling. Within my work life, my sense of fairness can sometimes negatively affect me. I feel you need to give 110% to your employer and have an obligation to complete things on time. There have been times where I have worked with others that do not have the same work ethic. While not the right thing to do in my mind, I need to be careful not to be resentful...

...Personal Ethics Statement My personal ethics statement includes my values and ideals important to me as an academic and in everyday life. My ethics are personal beliefs and morals that reflect and define the person I am. The decisions and choices I make every day should be consistent with integrity and respect toward others. These ethics will ensure my happiness and peace if I keep and hold these values. I believe the value of equality for people regardless of race, religion, and handicaps ensure that all people can be treated fairly. Treating people with respect and dignity while holding myself accountable to these principles will ensure that I treat others as I want to be treated. My preferred ethical lens is the reputation lens. I listen to my intuition and determine what character traits and virtues will best serve the community. The equality of a community is important to ensure a fair and balanced society for all. All people should contribute and develop a voice in a community by actively participating and finding common ground thru diversity. I believe in examining each situation in its own context rather than applying same solutions for the whole community. My blind spot possessing unrealistic role expectations either on myself or others means that I need to pay close attention to my expectations of other individuals. My expectations may not be the same as others, so not forgetting the people make mistakes same as me. Keeping in mind that I am not in control of every...

...Personal Ethics Statement. I describe ethics as the values we possess integrated with our actions. Obtaining, identifying, and utilizing honest ethical behavior is a key component to academic and personal success. Knowing how to apply your ethical behavior to situations, academic or personal will aid an individual to manage a successful life. The true need for sound ethical behavior is the cornerstone to the foundation of a person’s character. Character is ethical behavior combined with choices and that is what defines us as individuals. Our character is tested when a paper is due, you run out of time and there is an option to cheat. Character plays a major role in team effort when collusion can be prevalent. A university is a vast consortium and it creates a challenge to your ethical standpoint and ethics must be exercised regularly. Without proper understanding of ethics and how it affects the relationship to your own principles you could put yourself or someone else in academic danger. Your ignorance of ethical behavior may violate a universities code of integrity. I feel upholding a concise set of ethics is essential to academic and personal success. Ethics in the university is a topic that is in the background and forefront at the same time. It is assumed you should acquire and use good judgment and it should be transparent, but we talk about it all the time. An ethical behavior search on the Internet will produce over 4.5 million hits, for example, what is ethical...

...Personal Ethics Statement The standard of ethics I choose to live my life by is right from wrong. From a very small age, I can remember my parents always telling me “you know right from wrong and you need to choose to do right.” I always try to base my decisions in life around that saying. I have come to realize that decisions in life are not always black and white, but I try to follow my instinct and stick by it. Through the Ethical Lens Inventory I learned that my preferred lens is Results and Reputation Lens. My blind spot is I tend to set unrealistic role expectations. I plan goals and tasks out in my head and when they don’t unfold the way I had perceived them too, I become disappointed with myself or others. I have acknowledged that, and it is something I am working on by trying not to over analyze everything and let life unfold the way it is going to unfold. My strengths are my ability to analyze problems, compassion, free will, and experience. When I do something, whether it is meeting new people, taking a new class, starting a job, or taking a hike, I always plan for the occasion and prepare myself for several outcomes and strive to obtain the outcome I desire. I find that taking the time to prepare myself I stay motivated and determined to succeed. My weaknesses are that I don’t always take the time to reflect on situations and don’t always ensure that my heart and head agree with the decisions I make. Going forward, I will take more time to reflect prior to coming...

My ethics and personal belief are my morals that reflect and define the person that I am today. The decision and everyday choices that I make on a daily basis should be consistent with my integrity and respect towards others.

When I treat people as well as others with respect and dignity while holding me accountable to the principals that I keep will ensure that I treat others, as I want to be treated (the golden rule). My preferred ethical lens is the Rights lens-responsibility and results lens, where my core values are autonomy and rationality/sensibility along with my classic values temperance and prudence. My strengths are that I seek self -knowledge and free will, as well as analyzing problems with my reason and experience, along with fulfilling duties while creating the greatest good. With these, I can use them in my community to be a good role model for others as well as my kids. My blind spot is belief that motive justifies method or your own good is good enough.

...Personal Ethics Statement At the beginning of this class I did’nt know of it’s true meaning, but now after just four weeks of me this class I have learned exactly what personal ethics is. Personal ethics is the way in which you percieve things, in other words it’s what makes you uniqe. I’m a very responsible person. Since I was 11 years old my grandfather had me working. That gave me a head stard on becoming more responsible. I consider myself a very mentally strong person. I’ve been through a lot in my 39 years of life. I also consider my self a very helpful person. I always try to find a way to help others, but at the same time when I do that I always make sure that treat others I wish to be treated. I always make sure that if some one needs I don’t get taken advantage of. Most of the people I I find myself helping are not family members. The “Ethical Lenses” I preferred to use the most is the “Responsibilities”. One of my weaknesses is that it’s hard for me to concentrate and focus on what I’m doing. I’m the type of person that pay close attention to the actions of others and how they treat people. In the school and work environment I have noticed that some students don’nt want to be a team player. It’s hard to work with people like that, I hope that when others think about me they are confident that if they need help of any sort that I’m there. I also want others to know that I’m trust worthy and reliable. Conclusion I found that the ethical lense is a very effective...

...Personal Ethics Statement Going through this course has made me think of so many ways I could improve my life or how I should open my mind to more things. From talking about integrity to beliefs of others and how people react to that, I have reflected on my own ideas that I didn’t even realize I had. From when I was very young and remembering how my parents raised me to treat others how I wanted to be treated which is known as the “Golden Rule” by most, has been a way of life for me. I didn’t want to make others feel how I didn’t want to feel and I wanted my values and beliefs to be respected even if the other person didn’t agree with them. I am definitely glad at how this class has opened my eyes to the world of ethics and how much it can affect others than just me. After going through an Ethical Lens Inventory I found out that I had a preferred ethical lens of Reputation. This, in a sense, means that I let my intuition do the determining of what character traits I should utilize that could best serve the community. This did surprise me a little bit, like I said before, even I was a little unaware of what I really was like until going through this. My blind spot was Unrealistic Role Expectations; I try to spread myself so far across different roles that I may not be able to properly perform in one duty alone. My strength lies in my compassion for others, I am able to relate to issues that I myself may or may not have been through and I do have a true respect and care...

...Personal Ethics Statement HCS/478 June 12, 2012 Personal Ethics Statement Ethics is defined as the standards of behavior developed as a result of one’s concept of right and wrong (Judson & Harrison, 2010 p.9). As I reflect on my up-bringing, I remember my parents teaching me the differences between what is right and wrong. As a result of this learning experience, I discovered my conscious, my inner self that tells me I have done something wrong or right. This feeling comes in the form of a nagging voice that tells you things are not as they should be and it does not get better until you make changes. As a child, my grandparents owned a pastry shop and wood yard. My grandmother made cakes, pies, bread, pastries and sold other items in their store. I learned at an early age not to bother things that did not belong to me after eating the profit from the store. I would be place on restriction or some form of corporal punishment, depending on the severity of my infraction of the rules. My family were firm believers in “Spare the Rod, Spoil the child” (Proverbs 13:24, KJB). I was raised by both my parents and paternal grandparents. As a child, I witnessed my grandparents taking care of family members during illness and end of life times. When my grandparents were in their golden years, my parents took care of them. This caring gift did not only extend to the family, they took in a neighbor when his family could not care for him until it became too...
