What are Personal Ethics?

My ethical lens states that in order for me to see clearly I should listen to my heart. Making hasty decisions does not tend to serve me well. Thinking about my decisions with regard to how the outcome will affect others is important to me. I use reason to analyze problems according to my ethical lens inventory.

My personal ethical lens is “Rights-responsibility and results lens.” The ethics game defines this lens as “I balance rationality and my intuition to decide how to complete tasks for the best of an individual.” Ethical lens report www.ethicsgame.com

The ethical lens provides perspectives to each dilemma. The criterion within the lens as it applies to the situation yields a different ethical decision. By using the lenses I can see different perspectives and make a better decision.

My personal code of ethics has helped me achieve my goals in life and do well in school. Whenever I have to do something that is important to me, I make sure to keep my code of ethics in mind. My code of ethics comes from the values my parents have imposed on me and the lessons they have taught me throughout my life. Whenever I make a mistake or get in trouble, they make sure I understand what I did wrong and make sure I understand the consequences that I will endure if something like that happens again. The mistakes I have made helped me realize that I need to take responsibility for my actions. My principles have developed with my experiences as well. For example, during a tennis tournament that I played in last year, I had to compete against a girl that was very good athlete and won many more tournaments that I have participated in. Even though I knew I would lose, I didn’t give up after the first game; I continued

According to Johnson (2012) leaders are powerful role models, and policies will have a little effect if leaders do not follow the rules they set. In Enron case, corruption and ethical misconduct were deeply embedded in their business culture where profitability was more important than ethics. In this paper, I will address the factors that had led to the development of the culture of profit before principle at Enron. Also, I will create my personal code of ethics that will guide me in my professional and personal decision making and doing the right thing when faced with ethical challenges.

I grew up in a functional household with both parents contributing in my upbringing. My ethical code really came from watching how my parents and older siblings operated. By this I mean their different personalities and how they dealt with outsiders. In my family there was a strict “no drama” policy and that taught me to be respectful but I also learnt how to deal with certain levels of disrespect towards me or my family. A factor that also played a part was my relationships with some of the older members of my family, for instance my late aunt Victoria Roach who showed me how people back in the days would operate with more empathy than the average person in my generation. I believe empathy is very important and it is an attribute that people

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.

Business ethics is now a requirement in most schools and it mainly focuses on organizational ethics. I think business ethics should also focus on personal ethics and moral development. It is because personal ethics would give students and peers to know what they actually think about morality. Educating students about personal ethics would also be helpful to them in the future. Personal ethics will teach students to do what they believe is right. At times, students may face situations where it is not easy to make a decision, but if they have knowledge and know what personal ethics is, then it will help them in making better decisions. Also, the course should not stay behind when it comes to compliance and ethics program. Both of the things are

Throughout my life so far I have been influenced by many people and events which has made me into what I am today. Retrieving information from past events that I have experienced will give insight into what I personally value and how I make decisions whether it is an ethical dilemma or not. I wouldn’t say that all my decisions were based on good moral qualities, but that is what being human is all about. Learning from past experiences whether they are good or not will make me a better person. Through my life up to this point has been a learning experience especially since I am still in my twenties. There is a long road ahead of me, as long as I stick to what is right and keep my mind open, I will do alright.

We human beings live in a society. The society or the social world we live in is based on human cooperation. In other words, the individuals in a society do not live in an isolated self-centered world. The human interactive system presupposes ethical and moral standpoint from which we operate. My personal ethical system is based on “service before self” and “love your neighbors as yourself”.

Ethics and morals are an incredibly personal thing. There are several influences that mold and shape the moral and ethics self that a person is to become. Parents, teachers, friends, enemies, siblings, stories and experiences are just a few of the major influences on who a person might become, morally and ethically. It’s these influences that are so important to grow and develop. Based on these influences there may be an exquisite outcome of a moral and just person. However, there may be adverse effects based on the influences where the moral judgement may be flawed in a person. This will be an examination of my personal ethics and how I have come to see myself based on the experiences of my upbringing and how this class has made me view

In the beginning of this English course, there were seven objectives that the students enrolled in the course needed to complete in order to earn credit for the class. These objectives include meeting a twenty page requirement, applying modes of expression to our papers, demonstrate developed academic reading and interpretation skills, participate in groups with fellow classmates, expand a personal values for ethical behavior in a classroom setting, enhance the student’s writing abilities, and develop the ability to complete research (Rougeau-Vanderford). I, as a student in this course, was able to meet all of these seven objectives throughout the school year using various papers, workshops, and journals assigned to us for the teacher to

In today’s world, ethics is frequently thought of as belonging to a particular religious point of view, but by definition that is not the case. Ethics is defined as “moral principles that govern a person’s behavior or the conducting of an activity.” We make rules for ourselves to live by which affect our actions. We all have different mindsets, therefore have different opinions on what is right and wrong to us. Our surroundings, the people we converse and interact with, our religious commitments all impact our ethical development. I grew up in a Christian home where my parents took me and my sisters to every Sunday service, bible study session and taught us to read the bible every single night before going to bed. I can see why most people believe that ethics revolves our religious beliefs, because what I read in the bible became the basis to my moral principles

In the world today I think that some have forgotten how personal ethics can play an important role in the success or failure in a person life weather it’s at work or in an educational setting it is quite often forgotten. It is very important that we pay attention to our surroundings and how we treat and interact with others we want to make sure that we carry ourselves in dignified and respectful manner and try a be mindful of those around us. I think that having good morals and being rational about life can also help you go far but you have to work hard at it and stay focused. If you lose yourself and don’t have any moral or ethic standard you may find life

Personal ethics materialize at an early age, and evolve throughout a person’s life based on many internal and external influences. These internal and external influences form the basis for each individual ethical system and determine how that system will interact with all the other individual ethical systems in which it will contact and interact within and outside of the professional environment. Most individual’s ethical system will be similar but not a carbon copy of immediate family and friends because they have a strong influence on belief development and share many common experiences. Social interactions over a lifetime of associations in many diverse communal environments formulate
