Personal Ethic Statement

This activity was put in place to determine the strengths and weaknesses of an individual. Each individual found out their core values and which aspects of life seem sensible to them and which proved to be a challenge. With this activity, I learned a few interesting facts about myself while other things did not surprise me. The activity showed a balance in both reasoning and intuition skills. With reasoning, I tend to think about situations in a rational way. I weigh the pros and cons before I make a conscious decision. I am less harsh on myself in a situation because I am a rational thinker, although there are times I may get a little stressed. Often times I sit back and analyze the situation before making a decision or giving advice to an individual. As far as personal intuition is concerned, I am pretty sensible. Intuition leans towards a person’s ability to “listen” to the subconscious language and advice of the soul and of the universe. Often times this intuition can be simply explained as a “feeling” we get when making a decision or facing a challenging task at hand. My intuition was identified as being sensible. Then there are times when people make decisions that do not seem logical. I try to think things through the end. My decisions prove to be end with less desirable results. When I listen to my sensible intuition, I am always duly rewarded both mentally and physically. I am able to fulfill my duties based on my sensible and rational thinking because I generally do not tend to place blame on others as a scapegoat. I normally take responsibility of my actions and deal with the consequences. This activity also showed that I leaned a lot towards autonomy. I agree with this because I know I am a person who takes into account the morals and rights of others. I live my life and expect others to do the same through personal reasoning and self-motivating in order to function in society. The morals and rights I believe in are very powerful. I feel they are the ones that allow me to be successful in many areas of my life. When it comes to home, school, and work, my concept of autonomy allows me to develop and execute a strategy where I will be successful in the end. When it comes to weaknesses, I look at relationships as an area I could build on. Because of my strong thoughts on rights, responsibility, and rational thinking, I am a “no holds barred” type of person. While I value the relationships I have created and nurtured with others, I have a low tolerance when they make decisions which, to me seem to be irrational, insensible, and irresponsible. Therefore, many relationships lose cultivation because I would rather not allow them to be a part of my immediate circle or group. This is an area of my life I may try to reevaluate because my low tolerance for negative behavior of others leaves me with less desirable descriptions of my personality. I enjoyed this activity. I look forward to trying to explain and use it with others who are willing to look inside themselves to perhaps find who they truly are.
