Everyone has a guiding ethical code that governs their life every day in ways unrecognized even by them. This code is derived from many different areas of one 's life, stemming from various experiences and traditions which influenced them as they grew. These influences can include school, church, parents, friends, and many others. My primary influences in this area have stemmed from my family interactions. I have a lot of parental figures in my life, each of which have strongly influenced me indifferent ways, from faith in God, to showing respect to everyone I meet, as well as a strong work ethic, and strong desire to do what is right and beneficial to those around me. One very important aspect of my moral code is the virtue of respect for those in my life. It was instilled in me from a very young age that I was expected to be respectful. "Sir" and "ma 'am" were required vocabulary, as were "please" and "thank-you". I was taught that you should always hold the door for someone as they walk in, to buy your friends a meal every now and then, and to always offer to help with any chore or task that family or friend is undertaking. This was expected of me as a child. As a result I 've also learned how to be respected as well. My parents both biological and others instilled in me that I deserve a gentlemen who opens doors for me to date, and friends and family that would drop what they are doing to come help me, as I have been taught to do for them. Another aspect of my
My personal ethics have been formed through family influence, religious beliefs, life experiences, my internal reflection and the culture in which I was raised.
My mother is a enormous factor in my ethical thinking. Till I was about five years old it was just me and her. She is a strong working women and nothing can stop her. For the longest time I didn’t really think anything about it. It was just me and my mom against the world. I came to realize that she was someone I wanted to grow up to be. No matter what happened she was always there for me. Another big factor was my Aunt. She was about sixteen when I was born and thought the world of me. No matter if she was really young she would help my mom take care of me. She was never afraid to tell me what was right and wrong. With my aunt being so young I saw her grow up into a mature adult. Many people I am friends with are because
My personal code of ethics is Equality and Sensibility. I believe in a predictable system that assures the well-being of all, especially those without power, is a just system. As a wife, mother, nurse and a member of a community, I strive to do the best I can in every aspect of my life. As a mother, I strive to be a good role model to my children and teach them the fundamentals of life. I strive to be able to give a solid foundation and an easy path to life whether it be school, finding who they want to be as they grow older and for a productive future. As a nurse, I strive for equality of care for every patient and to be able to be their voice when they are not
Another code of ethic that is important to me is to exhibit generosity. This code of ethic is not only based on my religious belief but it is morally right. The bible states that God loves a cheerful giver; it also states that one should give and God will see others give to you. I believe that generosity is the habit of giving without coercion. I think people see me as a generous person. To me generosity goes beyond a wealthy person giving charitable donations such as money or expensive gifts to the less fortunate. Being generous to me is merely paying a bus ticket for my daughter since she cannot afford it. Other examples of generosity is sharing dinner with a homeless person, giving a gift to siblings whose parents cannot afford a Christmas present. I will continue to be generous because the thought of sharing and giving unselfishly without wanting in return shows that I do care about others and is a personal ethics that I attribute.
I, Rob Geis, commit myself to the code and values that I am about to describe. As a person I have vast life experiences that have affected who I am and what I believe in. As a Public Relations professional it seems that our industry is often under ridicule for being unethical and known as spin doctors. As an ethical student and person I consider these key values as guiding stones to my applied ethical choices. Family, friends, school and religion have all made me the person I am today and influence my ethical choices.
I was taught high morals (respect differences) at an early age, allowing me the humility to know right from wrong. These are important to be an awesome individual with honor and respect for all. Professional and Societal Responsibilities and
My moral code of ethics is based on the Bible. Therefore, I try to do unto others as you have them do unto you. I can be caring, concerned, sympathetic, and understanding to people in certain situations, but I see the need to be more compassionate. There are times as a Christian when I see something or hear about something, which happen to someone, and if I am not sympathetic about it, it bothers me. I have learned that it is just as important to treat those of your immediate family just as well as those outside, and not to take them for granted. I was so bent on help others that sometimes I put them before my family, my family were the ones to suffer, but now my family comes
In my personal life I value, respect, honesty and loyalty to the highest regard. In the past my morals and values were tested, but never compromised. By creating a code of ethics it has reinforced my values and generated a guideline for upholding them.
The second most important value in my code of chivalry is that, one must have an overachiever mind set. Being an overachiever is important, because this can help create a great work ethic. I demonstrate being an overachiever all the time, here is an example on how I have demonstrated being an overachiever. For instance, right now I have all of my assignments and projects done for all of my classes, and I was a week ahead. Others can demonstrate being an overachiever, by getting all of their work done in advance and seeking for more opportunities.
Be Intelligent: When I think of "personal ethics" it relates to what I believe deep inside, but it can also identify the way I perceive others. When I see a mother screaming at her 4th grade son in front of a house down the street, my personal ethics find that disgusting. If a parent has an issue with a child, take the child indoors and communicate with civility; that's ethical, not just in the sense of fairness for the child, but why should neighbors have to hear a screaming, impatient mother? Taking priority for
Our world is full of people who think very different, and discuss if they are right or wrong in a certain way. Ethical values play a role play in our lives, it can show our personality or in how we express ourselves. We don’t born with ethic values, we learn them. There are no boundaries for ethical values not even for children. We learn our ethical values from our parents and people who surround us.
My morals or personal code has absolutely grown over the years. My personal has been mostly influenced by what is currently going on in my life. I currently do not have a belief system however I have similar morals with most religons. My parents have played cruical role in my life, they are compassionate people and I have the utmost respect for them. My parents along with my older siblings not only taught me good morals but I also taught how to apply them into society. Since I was the youngest out of seven children I was somewhat coddle by my parents which allowed me to abscond from serious discipline from them. My family has always taught me respect my elders and be kind to others which is very important in my code.
Ethics are moral principles that can be used to help guide peoples decisions. We are all different and therefore our beliefs and opinions differ. There are many ethical theories, and according to Panza and Potthast (n.d.) the following are some that are widely used. Virtue ethics is one theory which states that personality is the most important thing. Living an ethical life, acting right, requires that one develops and demonstrates the quality of courage, compassion, wisdom, and temperance. It also requires that greed, jealousy, and selfishness is avoided. Utilitarianism states that the amount of happiness and suffering created by a person’s actions is what matters the most. As a result, acting rightly includes maximizing the amount of
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.
Everyday ethics is needed for all of us no matter what our position. Ethics is needed for the stay at home mom or dad. Ethics are needed for the career mother or the working father. Ethics is needed for the single lady or the single man. Ethics is needed for the single parent as well as the married couple. Ethics is needed for all professional fields. Ethics is needed for everybody. Where did we learn our moral code from? Who decides what’s right or wrong? Is it God? Is it parents? Is it books? Is it society? Is it the government? Is it ourselves? How many of us live by our ethics on a daily basis? How many would lie for the company to keep their jobs? How many would stand up against all odds for their ethical stance? How important
