Before taking this class I would explain the term "ethics" by doing what is right or wrong acording to one's own personal beliefs. Everyone has their own opinion as to where they stand on an issue and how they react to a situation. Not everyone has the same values built within them and thats what makes this subject so interesting. What one person may do when placed in a particular position may be completely polar opposite of what another may do.
2. What are some of your deepest held values?
I believe in honesty to a tremendous degree. Many of my past experiences in life have taught me to hold that very high. It says a lot about someone who can be unselfish andtell the truth despite the consequences. I believe honesty is the base of all relationships whether they be romantic or platonic. I think there is an ethically right and wrong way to tell the truth. What do you have if you don't have honesty?
3. What are some main principles you try to live your life by?
I try not to get too stressed out about something that may be going on today, because how important is it really going to be in a year from now. I try to take life a day at a time and enjoy the wonderful people I have been blessed to have in my life. I used to think life was too short and I was running out of time to do things I wanted to do. The older I get the more I realize how much time you do waste stressing out and taking for granted the little things.
4. What moral qualities do you look for in others?
Like I mentioned before honesty definately. I also admire anyone who stays true to themselves. It drives me crazy when someone changes who they are for each person they encounter. I think we are who we are and we should be able to look in the mirror and be proud to be that person. My take on it is I would rather someone hate me for who I am than love me for who I am not.
5. How were your values and principles developed?
Some of my values and principles have been taught to me by my mom and dad. Just the way they raised me and taught me what to and not to do. I would say the majority of my values and principles have been formed just by life's experiences. Life is trial and error. You learn something new and take something away from each situation, whether it be good or bad.
6. How have your values and principles changed throughout your life so far?
They have actually changed a lot within the past 6 months. I've always had values and principles but I was always flexable with them. My life has done a 180 in the past months and I am learning to fine tune my values and stick to them.
7. Out of 25 points, how many points do you feel your work on this assignment deserves? Justify your answer.
I don't think there was any right/wrong answers with this assignment. I answered all of them as honestly as possible. I feel I should receive full credit :)
