Week one DQ: Difference in Ethics This week’s discussion focuses on describing principle versus virtue ethics. Although principles and virtue ethics go hand in hand with one another. There are differences between the two ethics such as focusing on different elements of ethical conduct. Principle base ethics focuses on importance of adhering to moral rules. Virtue ethics highlights individual’s moral characteristics while focusing on characters role and development. However, adhering to rules does not interfere with moral development or character. Principle and virtue ethics play a vital role in ethical conduct. Whereas use of the concept of character deontology and consequentialism are based on rules that try to provide us the right actions, virtue ethics makes central. Rights are things people are entitled to too, such as privacy and freedom, while virtues are positive character traits or attitudes that an individual may strive toward in pursuance of becoming a better person. I volunteer that works veterans, families, at- risks youths, and special needs children. I believe that ethics represent discipline, honesty, fairness, honesty, truthfulness, integrity, and commitment to clients. Also, when working with clients to help them find housing, counseling at-risks youths, special needs youths, families in need, and veterans following the privacy ethics also play role in following ethical code of conduct. I also believe understanding ethical morals plays an essential role in values. According to Jungers & Gregoire (2016) adhering to ethical autonomy, competence, and maturity lays the groundwork for good counseling and building trust between clients. As a volunteer my responsibility is to encourage my clients to build self-confidence, sufficient, self-esteem, and independence.
