In A Glaringly White Room, I Sat With My Colleagues For

“The soul that knows it not knows no release from the little things: knows not the livid loneliness of fear.” –Amelia Earhart. When trying to accomplish your goals, not everything will go as planned. Very rarely will you just be handed what you want. When you work for something, sometimes you will fail. You will be told you weren’t the best choice or you were good, but just not what they were looking for. And it hurts. It beats you down and steals your confidence. But failure is the best teacher. Failure makes you stronger and builds you up to be the best you can. It can be challenging to try again

At the present time I know that I can put effort in everything I want, knowing that I am capable of achieving it if I try it hard enough. Applying that in all areas of my life, such as academic, social, familiar and personal, only improved it. This is important for me because of the fact that it gave me confidence to try and not be afraid to risk just because of how hard things may seem. I have the knowledge that deep down I am capable of doing what I want. Changes of minds and attitudes are not done from one day to another, however people should never believe that they are not possible and should always try to fight for them. Hoping that the world can be a better place is what inspires people to be better themselves and it is certainly what moves me every day when I decide to do something challenging that demands me to give my very

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm”, Winston Churchill once said. As a high school student I would only things that I had to and cross my fingers that I didn’t screw up. But in the long run, I realized it would pay off the keep my head up high and stay persistent.

As J.K. Rowling once said, “it is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.” As we end our high school career and make our way into the future, we must keep in mind all of the lessons we were taught at Anderson that will help us to succeed, even when we fail the first time. These messages, which were taught through books, will help form us as the young adults we are becoming.

According to the Ethics Awareness Inventory [EAI] (Williams Institute for Ethics and Management [WIEM], 2003), "[My] ethical perspective is most likely to be based on obligation, and…least likely to be based on equity." In this paper, I will apply the results of this inventory to my personal and professional development, explaining how my educational experience has shaped my ethical thinking, addressing my use of ethics in thinking and decision-making, and discussing my potential for conflict in situations with people of different ethical perspectives.

In our world, humans make mistakes that sometimes can be fixed. We can learn from mistakes that we made during school or somewhere else. My experience with this is, learning from mistakes will give you power and extra knowledge on where you went wrong. If I have failed to do a certain step, I will revise the material and do it again. When I had a social studies test in grade eight, I believed that I did not have to study and look over the notes I had from class. Instead I decided to go to class and write it. Lter that same day I checked my mark on that test and it gave me a shock throughout my body. From that moment I knew I had to make a change to my studying habits. In grade 11, I had no problem with any of my studies, but when it came to grade 12, I started to slack off. Not having the grades I wanted for math or English to get into a

In this project I am asked to reflect on what ethics means to me. Not only in my personal life but also in a work setting, and in our society. During our reflection I am asked to give multiple personal examples to support my meaning of ethics. Lastly I will connect the three questions together with a conclusion that I hope will help a reader understand the subject of ethics.

The Code of Ethics contributes a great amount to my studies, but also to my everyday life. Within the practice of social work, ethical decision making is a major priority throughout the field. By learning

We cannot avoid ethical decisions. In fact, ethics is everywhere, in our personal and professional lives as we go about whatever business we undertake. It is there when we ponder large scale questions about our personal aspirations and goals, about what drives us forward or holds us back. It is there when we occupy our professional roles, and fulfil the obligations and duties associated with them; and it is there when we interact with a child or a lover, a shopkeeper or a bus driver, or when we engage in a conversation, even of the most casual kind, with a stranger we come across in the street. Ethics provides our moments of action and reflection with value and meaning. It sets the goals and intentions behind the application of knowledge. It is not purely rational, but nor is purely affective. It is the practical decision making context that may take its guidance from other modalities of life – including religion and truth – but may also in turn help shape their

Working in the field of human services of the needy puts highly consideration for ethical standards to follow. Most of the needy cases give too much detailed concerning their situations; therefore, they are vulnerable. Ethical codes help therapists, psychologists and social workers to know what to do towards an ethical issue, and how to avoid unethical issues in the first place. The ethical standards for resolving ethical issues and for privacy and confidentiality are crucial ethics to follow in my current job.

With ethics providing the backdrop for our conduct, on every level from individual to global, studying them is an indispensable way to analyze our behaviors and evaluate our decision making criteria. Different ethical approaches give us perspectives we may not consider from our individual default point of view, while affording us the opportunity to look for shifts in mindsets, attitudes, and values over time, allowing us to see our progress as a society. Additionally, we’re able to compare and contrast our own governing principles against those of others around us, showing us where we fit in our society, as well as measuring how well we’re meeting our self imposed standards. I’ve spent the past few weeks evaluating several essays on ethics as they relate to fields including medicine, sports, and economics, as well as

It all started in preschool, where I would sit and study my world map poster while eating breakfast every morning. I always kept a list of places that I wanted to travel to when I got older. The endless possibilities of places to visit and sites to explore has always intrigued me. This idea of traveling the world is one many children dream about, but for most of youth in the United States it never becomes a reality. I spent a majority of my childhood traveling around the United States. I saw most of the country growing up, which made me want to explore even more. On the evening of my eighteenth birthday I booked a flight to France, despite disapproval from my parents. I knew that traveling by myself to a foreign country would have many obstacles. However, I wanted to experience a new culture and meet new people.

Famous professional boxer, Muhammad Ali, once said, “Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.” My lifelong ambitions revolve around this central idea of striving and determination. By continuously encountering both positive and negative situations, I have still managed to stay aggressive and strong. This will help me learn that each step I take now and in the future dictates the progress in my life. Society always talks about how one can stay motivated and strive for success throughout life, but there seems to be more than that than said. Many individuals try to reach a state of perfection, however, they are just as concerned describing their strengths as they are describing their weaknesses. These strengths and weaknesses are defined and shaped by our everyday actions and behavior in both the academic and secular world. Aside from thinking about education and success, I am focused on great visions that will fundamentally help me live prudently. I have faced many challenges in my personal and academic life that have provided life learning lessons and experiences for me to learn from and bring change. These experiences and lessons have ignited a new spark in my life that will present fresh signs of a new hope, with a deeper significance, broader experience, and more commitment.

Introduction: I am going to discuss about how some of the personal experiences I have had in my life have shaped my definition of ethics. These experiences have shaped me into the person I am today and taught me how important ethics is in the modern society.

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn”. A quote by Benjamin Franklin that has always been important to me, and in following it I have grown to be more and more confident in my learning. This led to a growth in my confidence, and inevitably allowed me to learn in a way that suited me. To believe in myself has and will always be my first priority. Throughout the last 18 years of my life, I have come to have many regrets, and have faced a range of difficulties. This constant notion of failure knocking at my door prompted my response of accepting it, only considering my failure as a way to learn from the experiences. I believe that how I choose to overcome these obstacles determines whether I will become successful or not. As many people say, we learn from our experiences and our mistakes, but there are very few people who actually choose to act upon it. I consider myself among those who accept their mistakes and as having the ability to resolve them.
