Personal And Professional Values

Personal values play a big part in our lives. The development of our personal values is an ongoing process, and is subject to change based on what we feel is most important to us. Life is full of twists and turns and may cause us to readjust our priorities. However, as a human service professional it is important to understand what our values are and how we can benefit those that we serve.

Personal values, beliefs, and principles are important for individuals to know about themselves. However, when asked the question, “what are your personal values, beliefs, and principles?” The first response is often a laundry list of characteristics with the assumption that those three words are synonymous. From my experience when posed this question the laundry list became long and in retrospect, I began to wonder what the differences were between each of these terms. As a teacher, employee, mother, and Christian knowing these differences and how to answer the question is an important component of determining how I make decisions when faced with ethical dilemmas. Hence, began the investigation of how the terms relate, their meaning and what my answer is to this question. Since my laundry list was quite long for this essay, I will share and explain the top two elements for each category, how they relate to one another and how the knowledge influences tough decisions.

– My personal values will have to be respecting others, education, and helping and caring for others. The person(s) who I feel influenced me the most in forming my values is my parents and my grandmother. They influenced me because growing up they always preach about treating others with respect even if I feel like they don’t deserved it. They also made sure that education was a priority and not an option. For as helping and caring for others I always saw them helping when they didn’t necessary didn’t have too and not one complain or threw it in the person face. The value that lead me into social work is helping and caring for others wanting to see them do better and make better decision in life.

The face of nursing has evolved and changed since it’s inception. Today’s nurse is faced with cultural, ethical and technological issues that didn’t exist even twenty years ago. As such, nurses have had to continuously evolve to continue to provide the quality, selfless care that patients have always relied on them for, and expected, since the very beginning of nursing. From pediatrics to gerontology, nurses are serving a culturally, religiously and financially diverse population with challenging needs. In the face of this, nursing itself is becoming ever more diverse in it’s culture and skill set, which is helping the profession stay in the race, and continue to advance the practice of nursing.

Sometimes a social worker can experience conflicts and ethical dilemmas in the practice, and the decision-making process requires a separation form the personal values and professional ethics. One conflict that may arise while working with a client is keeping personal feelings and values separated from the professional role. In the case, social worker Ajia Meux is working she is faced with some conflicts that can intertwine with her personal values and professional ethics. She was concerned with her client’s decision of having children, his living situation, and his environment. Ms. Meux is trying to make sure that the client use protection to avoid having more children and suggest him to have a DNA test done. She understands that this is a decision that can help him better his life and give him a more positive outcome for his future.

Personal values and professional values run parallel in the social work field. Recognizing and managing your personal values while working with clients is an important task. Concentrating on your professional values is required for a social worker to assist her client to the best of her ability. During my internship there have been a number of cases that I have had to practice managing my personal values.

My goal in life is to help others through a human service degree, and in order to do that I need to commit to a lifetime of personal growth. For me this means understanding who I was by exploring my culture, background, and values that shaped me into the person I am today. I will also need to understand who I am today and how I care for myself to ensure I am best prepared and fit to provide helpful services. Lastly, I will need to identify who I want to become and how I will reach those goals.

In reviewing your personal and professional values, what surprised you, and what helped you affirm your beliefs?

Values are those things that are important, meaningful and valued by an individual, a group of people, or an organization. Whether we are aware of them or not, every individual has his or her core set of values, which consist of many different kinds of values. Each individual’s value system is different from one another because individual’s values are built up through one’s life experience, environment, and family background.  Values are important to us because they reflect our personal moral standards, shape our behavior, and guide us through long life journeys.  Since we live in a highly connected society, each person’s value system does not only affect one’s own life, but also affects many other people and the

My personal values include putting education and learning as a high priority in my life. I believe that striving to be a lifelong learner is the foundation to grow as an individual.

Life is resplendent yet it’s not a bed of roses. Though it’s repleted with abundances of highs and lows, it has many facets of benedictions and accomplishments. There are two types of people in this world, one, who consider life as arduous and merciless. These sets of people live life as a punishment, often known as a life without principles. They lose every sense of direction and their elusion to authenticity gets disoriented in the process. On the other hand, there are those who view life as a challenge. For them life has color, meaning, and a prospect. No matter what situation they are in, their life’s motive is to keep on going because aeonianly prosperity is in their fate. No wonder an adage asserts, “Where there is life, there is hope.” The most essential values emanate from within us because they are the true reflection of ourselves. Having such morals gives people goals to strive for, no matter what the odds. Most importantly, it’s crucial to genuinely understand that these morals must come to life and should be followed consistently even if they seem blurred or unyielding at first. My own personal values lay in the conception of living a jubilant life, a life with no regrets, a life that is lived for long term achievements compared to short term achievements. This would mean living a life that is worth giving up some of the most consequential things at the peril of the future.
