Personal values, belief and attitudes

Professional values can be found within the new national care standards; it is important when providing services that social worker treat individuals with dignity and respect, show compassion, ensure the privacy of the clients and provide choice to the individuals. (Newcarestandards.scot, 2017)

There is no doubt that person-centred care values must influence all aspects of health and social care work. Health and social care should be based on person-centred values, and should be individualised as this is a law requirement (Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social care Act 2012, Codes of practice for Social Care Workers, etc). If person-centre values that underpin all work in the health and social care sector are followed as they should be then all individuals should feel that and health and social workers ensure that:

Recent major life changes have likely changed my values, but I have ignored those changes because I did not focus on my own feelings. If I am more aware of my own values, I can become a better leader and instill strong values in others. To become more self-aware, I will wake up twenty minutes earlier each day. During that time, I will write down what I look forward to and what I dread each day. At the end of each day, I will record three ways I felt effective, and three areas in which I felt unsure. If I notice recurring themes, I will identify them as new values or areas in which I need to make

Elaine Robinson Beattie’s seminar, “Cultural Superpowers” was both exhilarating and informative. One of the topics discussed in the seminar by Elaine Robinson Beattie is to work and live within personal values. It is so important that an individual identify what is most esteemed in their life (E. Beattie, personal communication, November 5, 2016). In relation to work, individuals should seek out organizations with shared organizational values and purpose. The values that an employee distinguishes will reflect in the effort, commitment and motivation that the employee will bring to his or her job (Analysing your Career Values, n.d.). There is a direct link between job satisfaction and values. The link has been referred to as the "Holy Grail"

1.     The three work values most important to me are helping others, working with others, and developing friendships with the people I work with. I like to help others to increase my self-respect and feel the satisfaction that comes from giving. I like to work with others as a team toward common goals. Working with others allow me to learn from others and gaining new skills. Also, I value developing friendships with the people I work with because it increases productivity.

What are my values? What do I attach importance to or what is important to me in life?

Values were a huge part of my childhood and show a large part in my lifet today, as they support my thoughts and actions. As a social work student I have to question my personal morals, opinions and ethics as these will have a large impact on my performance as a expert. My private values are consistent to the values of social work, which is the motive as to why I have chosen a career in a social care. These values are self - determination to promote social justice, being kind and accommodating toward others, honesty and respect. Working with troubled youth in my past helped further develope my interest in promoting social justice and social change on behalf of my community. I recognize, that as a social work student I have to act in unity

There are many factors that played into the development of my personal moral beliefs, but the most influential factors would have to be my family, my experiences, and my beliefs. My parents from my upbringing helped to show me what is right and what is wrong and how to differentiate the two. My experiences helped me to put those lessons they taught into practice and develop my own thoughts and my own moral compass. Finally my beliefs helped to shape my moral beliefs. I had attended catholic schooling my entire life, which helped to shape my moral beliefs greatly. Personally, I do not find myself to be a very religious person, but I took away very valuable lessons to help develop my moral beliefs. The most influential of the three would definitely

As an individual, I have my personal value system that helps in guiding my behavior and code of conduct in addition to helping me know what is meaningful and important to me. I uphold certain values to keep myself in check in my daily life, how to deal with interpersonal conflicts and how to relate to the society in general. I seek to reflect on my value system, explore the NASW ethical standards as well as examine what standards are congruent with my personal belief system and which ones I anticipate having some difficulty in practicing. Comparing my value system with the NASW ethical standards, some standards are difficult to meet personally in my daily living.

Through reading the text I found the activity on page 14, Table 1.1 Values Clarification Chart-Overall Life Priorities, a very helpful activity. In this activity it has the individual rate their top four values and then evaluates why they are ranked so high, as well as the understanding of each value. After doing this activity it really helped put my values into perspective, and from this activity I was able to evaluate why these values were so important to me. Reflecting on this I was able to identify that most of these values are the values I gained as a child from my parents, education, and family surrounding me. It also helped me realize that these were my unique values, not everyone had the same upbringing or education as I did. The main purpose of this activity was to help identify others/clients will have different values and even if you share the

Prioritizing your values, assessment? And how will you use those values to reach your goal? My number one value is commitment and work ethic. I will say when it comes to commitment I stand strong on it. My work ethic is something I take serious; because I am doing something that I love and gives me a reason to even want to work.

As human beings, we all have our own values, notions and postures that we have developed throughout the course of our lives. 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. As community accommodations workers, we are often working with people who are vulnerable and/or who may live a lifestyle that mainstream society views as being different or unacceptable. As a community accommodations worker, we are to provide an accommodation that meets the needs of our target groups and avails them to feel empowered, we require to be cognizant of our own personal values, notions and postures and not impose our own ideas on our clients. It is important that I do not

Have an understanding of your own personal views/beliefs and recognise that everyone has the right to their own opinion. The ensure this doesn’t become an issue that will effect your relationship with individuals, gain the ability to communicate and have skills to be able to work together and find a resolution despite different opinions.

Values give us self-awareness, self-confidence and the feeling of belonging. They help us make the right choices and force us to develop integrity. Values show us how to choose between different priorities and give us an idea of what improvements we need to be made to improve our relationships with others. When we act with these values they give us credibility, and help us to know where we stand, and clarify what we will and will not tolerate. We make many choices daily, some have very minor significance, others of extreme importance, and each one of these choices we make have a huge impact not just on us, but those around us. Even a very small decision such as having a burger instead of a salad could effect our health in the long run, and in result affect the people we love. There are seven values that are absolutely essential for human survival. The seven include justice and fairness, caring, respect responsibility, honesty, loyalty and liberty. These seven values play a major role in our lives. Many of us forget these values that we have been taught. Living in this busy and fast paced world, many us of neglect to practice these core values. The ethical couture of this world is spiraling downward. We seem to be focused on ourselves rather than caring about others. I will be describing how these seven essential values are expressed in my life and some areas that need some work. I strive to be the best person i can be, I understand we live in a cruel world, but I feel it

From hiring a new team member to writing a proposal for a prospect to keeping a current client informed, these seven values form the lense through which we view and interact with the world around us.
