Determining Universal Rules and Ethics

The results of the Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI) state my strengths as making choices for the greater good of everyone involved. I make it priority that each person’s rights are protected to assure everyone in the community is treated fairly. My opinion of ethical behavior is a person who does their job and does the right this as an individual. Meaning by making the right choice as an individual you can make several people happy at one time. When

As I reflect and pounder about my adult life, I see to this day these values are still present in my life. I use these two values every day to communicate with others, whether I am at work, school, or talking to someone in my family. I believe that everyone is their own person, and are in control of their own density. When I attempt to socialize with others I try to keep in mind that we are all different, so what I like someone else may not. So, I try to be considerate with people and their thoughts. I also don’t look down on anyone when I am socializing with someone. I do believe that we are all equal, no matter race, age, or gender, we

The ACS codes of ethics is a part of the ACS constitution. As an ACS member you must uphold and advance the honor, dignity and effectiveness of being a professional. This involves, in addition of being a good citizen and acting within the law. While Because of their roles in developing software systems, software engineers have significant opportunities to do well or cause harm, to enable others to do well or cause harm, or to influence others to do well or cause harm. To ensure, as much as possible, that their efforts will be used for good, software engineers must commit themselves to making software engineering a beneficial

Values are often influenced by different ideologies, so it is important to look at these also.

The Unified Ethic according to Geuras and Garofalo is based on the compounding of several ethical methodologies. Of the four methodologies that is mentioned Teleology is the first discussed in detail, and relates heavily to happiness. The second is Deontology believes that we should act in a principled manner, and that this affects many aspects of our everyday life. Intuitionism, which believes that all humans should make decisions based on their own emotions. Lastly of the four is virtue theory which argues that in order to understand the decisions a person makes, then the entirety of that person should be evaluated. These four modes create an all-encompassing ethic according to Geuras, and Garofalo. They believe that the unified ethic can

I see myself promoting these social values as a social worker because I think that by following these values a great change can happen in the society as well as globally. I think that the most efficient way to practice these values is to follow them and practice consistency, and also set an example for others who are in the social work practice, as well as the patients who need guidance and someone to look up to and be inspired by. For example, in an environment where a social worker is starting a journey with a client in the first couple meetings, the workers should express the values that he/she stands for and explain the way she implements those values in life situations. I believe that figuring out the most successful ways of promoting values from the code of ethics takes great practice and in my opinion, the first few clients in the beginning of one’s career are experimental to truly learn which methods work best.

The right way to live as an individual in society is an important theme set in this

Throughout the course of history it is evident that the values of society have dramatically changed over the years. The values that people posses change depending on what’s occurring around the world at the time, whether a fierce, bloody war resulting from a calamity or a time of peace and renaissance. The choices people make can either help change society for the better or they can help bring society down. Many different factors lead to the events that can change entire societies such as education or discrimination, both of which can have negative repercussions.

Duty, freedom, justice and charity are the values which are the foundation of social practices. This is because they operate through a series of actions that are simple with addition of legitimating structures according to Sandu and Caras (2013). The structures help in justifying social actions against the conscience of a person. The actions are invariant and independent of any cultural context. The perception of the significance of the actions is determined by the way that we interpret them.

Another ethical principles from the core values that I feel is strongly needed is social justice. I feel that is where Social Workers can make the most difference. Challenging the injustice vulnerable population face would help them get access to more resources. Challenging those injustice would also bring much needed awareness on issues vulnerable population faces daily. Social Justice is important because it would give policymakers the push they need to make changes regarding those defenseless

What is the ideal mode of life? Society has the difficult decision between valuing the individual or the community as a whole more. Will society benefit more by focusing on the individual perfecting himself or herself and staying true to who they are, or will we benefit more by conforming to the ways of the community? This question has been asked for multiple years and several different answers have been given. Three American writers who have discussed this topic are Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Winthrop, and Benjamin Franklin. Each author has a different view over this subject. Emerson believes someone should not conform to his or her society, while Winthrop believes conformity is what will benefit society; Franklin on the other hand believes in a mix of both. Between all three, Franklin’s idea of a fusion between Emerson’s and Winthrop’s ideal modes of life is the proper balance to create a efficient and affective society.

As human beings, we all have our own values, beliefs, and attitudes. These things develop over the course of our lifetime and at any point can change based on an experience that we may have. Our family, friends, community and the experiences we have had all contribute to our sense of who we are and how we view the world.

First adopted in 1914, the code of ethics for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is the model for professional conduct for all ASCE members. The code of ethics is an excellent model as it is broken down into eight canons for further understanding. The purpose of each canon is to serve as a guide and reminder for professional engineers that they are to have the moral and ethical integrity the profession calls for at all times while holding safety paramount. The ASCE code of ethics is very informative and insightful because although each canon does not go into great depth, the canons leave room for interpretation under different situations.

My personal Code of Ethics includes Respect, Integrity, Fairness and Caring. Some situations in life may be subjective, but what matters is making sure the results are fair for all parties. Through the years I have found identifying and setting personal values to be increasingly difficult since the right decisions aren’t always appeasing to all that are involved. Every decision made or not made is definitive of myself, and in believing so removing the need to conform to standards imposed by society.

My personal values act as a basis for determining right and wrong in my daily life. My life, my parents, my husband and my children have all played valuable roles in the development of my core values. The following is an ever changing personal ethics creed, that I plan on using to help guide me in my endeavors.
