Personal Statement On Values And Morals

Ethics codes provide us with general conduct standards in which professionals are expected to adhere to. These standards are used to form a sense of unity and agreement within professional organizations. When I think about ethics, I believe it should be simple, but in reality, ethics are complex with multiple layers. Ethical codes are important to use as a guideline for acceptable behavior, but an ethics code will not be able to guide me with every situation. Because of this, it is important that I have my own personal sense of ethics and values. My ethical practice is based on my own values, cultural and religious beliefs, and practices. I tend to be a “heat of the moment” person. Ethics are important because I need a place to turn to when my personal feelings and emotions are clouding judgment.

We’ve had a lot of discussion about ethics, values and morals this week and have drawn some lines between the meaning of each that applies to our personal and professional lives. Our values help guide us in our understanding of right and wrong, basically what we believe to be acceptable action in any situation we’re presented with. Morals are types of values that deal more with good and bad, the foundation for our behavior and decisions (The Definition of Morality, 2014). Ethics use shared morals and values in a system of accepted rules that a specific group of people agree to abide by. For example, most physicians agree to abide by the Code of Medical Ethics established by the American Medical Association since it is considered to be the most comprehensive code available (AMA's Code of Ethics, 2015).

Everyone wants to be respected. It’s in our nature, but in order to obtain respect, first of all one has to respect oneself. Second, one has to show respect to others in order to gain respect from them. If one doesn’t show respect to someone, that person may often feel blown off and lose respect for you. Respect in my eyes is like a math equation loyalty plus duty equals respect. respect is gained in conducting ones self in a way that others can stand

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

What is respect? Is the way people should be treated, how you would want to be treated, and should it come naturally or should it be taught? Respect is what are world is built on, I feel that the phrases like “reap what you sow” explain what respect works like. For example to when I am rude to someone they tend to be rude back, the same works with respect. When being disrespectful to someone you most likely will disrespect you right back. Not everyone follows these thoughts of respect. Actions like these can lead to dangerous places, people begin to break boundaries that were once built on respect.

Most people go through life and always hear about the word respect, but they don’t know what it means. Respect is the esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person. There are things in life you need to hold in respect. Respect for yourself, respect for others, and respect for property. Respect is taught to people everywhere and it is even taught to them in their religions. Respect is the very aspect that keeps everything in your life.

What are some other key issues or codes of ethics do you feel are vital for organizations to succeed? Accountably, respect, integrity and performance excellence. Give at least two examples of different organizations values and/or codes that you feel exemplifies your beliefs and why. Kraft I like the Kraft code of ethics because they only contain just 10 very short rules of ethical behavior that every employee must obey and follow. Kraft’s code of ethics allows their employees values to guide their actions in just about all cases.

The values that resonate with me the most are respect, honesty, equality, responsibility and trustworthiness.

As a student of business, a code of ethics is essential in determining guidelines you will follow when making decisions. My personal code of ethics is based on my core values and the standards I expect of myself. The code is to be followed while in the classroom, at work, or when working with others. This code has been made for the purpose of assisting me in making good choices, and having a way to decide what is right and what is wrong.

To always observe these ethical values and to apply them on a daily basis: honesty, trustworthiness, integrity, transparency, accountability, confidentiality, and professionalism.

I agree that Values with differ in each person and are different based on how they were raised and what their culture is from where they were raised. I further agree that acting ethically is very important to a person’s integrity, which is a person’s values and moral principles. Kevin Daum of Inc.com feels that many claims to understand their own values, but he believes that they don’t unless they articulate them clearly by writing them down, and have tested them through daily decision-making. He further believes that your personal core values are there to guide behavior and choices

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.

Establishing a personal code of ethics is challenging in that it cannot rely solely upon written standards. Instead, I believe it must also address one’s history, role models, education and training, etc. Therefore, I feel that such a code is always evolving into something more. Regardless, I believe the following list is a good start to describing my personal code.

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.

Ethics is something that is very essential to have especially in the business world. They are the unwritten laws or rules well-defined by human nature; ethics is something people encounter as a child learning the difference between right and wrong. “Just how character matters in people, it matters in organization.” Justin Schultz, a cooperate Psychologist in Denver. For most organizations, values statements are simply rhetoric that sits on a fancy plaque on the wall. The real values are seen in the halls, not on the walls. What happens when an unethical behavior is committed? What happens when it is committed by a large cooperation, large enough to hurt the economy? Most people may claim they have integrity but when asked the definition they have their own meaning to the word, what has found that the internal definition each person has is unique.
