How would I define ethical and ethical action? Ethical means someone’s moral principles that govern a person’s or group’s behavior. Ethical action is somewhat similar; it means how that person or group act’s according to the ethic’s. Everyone has an ethical background if you will. In our nation today there is so many different ethical opinions and belief on how we should be as a society. Here at Lee there are different ethic’s. How should ethical actions impact my personal development? It should impact it tremendously. Why? Because the way I was raised and how I was raised in my beliefs should help guide me through my college my life here at Lee. Some of us may not have grown up in a Christian home or does not know how to act, but they longer you stay …show more content…
First of all, what is Faith? Faith is the complete trust or confidence I have in God. I have all the trust in God but sometimes my flesh steps in and makes me doubt what my calling is on this Earth. God is a God that will give you the desires of your heart, but we have to surrender to Him and know what He will make a way for it to come too past. I believe that there is an almighty God that will help guide us through this messed up world we live in. My major is Elementary Education and as we all know that God has been taken out of our school systems, but I really believe that with Gods’ help we as upcoming Christian educators, we will can change that. They only way we can change that is by having Faith in God and allow Him to work in us throughout our learning and teaching years. I have been called to work with kids and believe that in this dying nation that I can and will make a difference in the kids that are in my class. I may not be able to specifically say Gods’ name in school but I can and will pray for them daily and let God us me through my teaching. Ethic has a huge impact on how I will see and spend my years here at Lee University as well as my career in
My ethics and values are developed from my religious beliefs, my associations with professionals, and self experiences. My religion installs values such as honesty, courtesy, and determination, which determine how I treat other people. My association with professionals helps me to embrace values, such as determination, personal integrity, accountability, and excellence, which are fundamental in designing my academic and professional paths. The experiences I have encountered in life have taught me to observe and embrace many ethical values, including ambition, integrity, and responsibility, which enable me to associate well with my family and other members of the society.
Ethics or being ethical is simply based on a person’s capability to choose what is right or wrong or good or bad. Ethics can be defined as the body of moral principles or values governing or distinctive of a particular culture or group. (Banks C. , 2009). Ethics is a branch of philosophy dealing with the study of questions of right and wrong and how we ought to live our lives; A system of moral principles (Banks C. , 2009). Over all, morality rests squarely on the shoulders one’s early social environment.
Ethical behavior is behavior that a person considers appropriate. A person’s moral principles are shaped from birth, and developed over time throughout the person’s life. There are many factors that can influence what a person believes is right, or what is wrong. Some factors are a person’s family, religious beliefs, culture, and experiences. In business, it is of great importance for an employee to understand how to act ethically to prevent a company from being sued, and receiving criticism from the public while bringing in profits for the company.
Ethics is a doing and learning experience which causes us as humans to keep an open mind to change. Generally, ethics ask us to live mindfully, to think how we act and even how we feel or do things, which can change the outcome. Sometimes we go down certain roads, which may be harder or make things more complicated or complex instead of making an easier option we just take the easier way out, usually the way that calls for
Ethics will have various effects on my personal and professional life. There are many different theories and principles that can be easily applied to my life. Four examples of these theories would be utilitarianism, virtue, deontology, and the golden rule. These theories will have differing sizes of impact in my life. Some may be harder to incorporate into my personal life compared to my professional life, others may only slightly change how I currently act in any given situation.
Ethics are basically the procedures of personal acts that are based on ideas or a person, about what is ethically good or bad and they are range of statistics that involves these statistics. So basically, ethics are rules a person sets for himself or herself about what is ethically right or wrong. They involve legal issues and if something is illegal, it does not always mean that it is unethical, consequently if something is ethical, it does not mean it is legal.
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 happiness and minimizing the amount of suffering around you. At times you may need to break some of the traditional moral rules to achieve such an outcome. Kantianism is another theory which highlights the principles behind actions rather than an actions results. It states that it requires to be motivated by good principles that treats everyone with respect. If you’re motivated by good principles, you overcome your animal instinct and act ethically. Another ethical theory is the Contract theory, which suggest that ethics should be thought of as terms of agreements between people. It suggests that doing the right thing means obeying agreements set by members rather than those of society. For this theory ethics isn’t necessarily about character, consequences, or principles. The last theory I’m going to mention is Care ethics. Care ethics focuses on ethical attention on relationships before other factors. As a result, acting rightly involves building, strengthening, and maintaining strong relationship...
My personal ethics impact my decision making all the time. They are personal beliefs and morals that define the person I am. I believe in the value of equality, treating people the same regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. When making any decision I need to think about how this will affect others and if it will show them respect and all the things I wish to be treated with.
[1] Ethics is defined as “the code of moral principles and values that governs the behaviour of a person or a group with respect to what is right or wrong” (Samson and Daft, 2005, p.158)
I believe that personal ethics should and will change over the span of a lifetime. In the beginning of your life, you must be selfish in order to survive and thrive. As you begin to grow as a person and develop a sense of yourself detached and apart from others you need also to begin to grow a sense of respect for the thoughts, mindsets and beliefs of those you have encountered. I do not think anyone is born knowing how to be a good person or how to live ethically yet. Most start developing a set of values from whomever raised them parents, grandparents, or guardians. Weather those set of values set us up to live an ethical way of life or not, being young we view our parents as knowledgeable and genuine believing what they say is correct no
A big influence in developing my ethics were my parents. My parents are immigrants from Mexico. They didn't have much growing up and when it came to socializing with people they were very hospitable and friendly because they felt like that's all they could offer other people in order to give back for what they receive as a form of gratitude. Having
When asked what is the definition of ethics, many responded that being moral meant doing the right thing. But how can we justify what is a good action and what is a bad action? All humans were created equal, but our principles, and ways of thinking can be extremely different. Some may say doing the right thing means following your heart, your inner feelings and intuition. But emotions can be misleading. Others say in order to do what is the morally right thing means to follow the law and do what is right by society, to be accepted. But today’s society is judgmental and can be corrupted with numerous opinions due to the diversity of cultures. So what does it mean to be ethical? Being ethical means doing what is right in terms of virtues, fairness, duties, responsibilities, obligations, and moral believes all which derived from cultures and family backgrounds.
Ethics is all about the right or wrong behavior in appropriate circumstances. It depends on certain assumption, such the right behavior of self-rule and the right behavior to life. Ethics are divided into two:
I am confident that the intelligence I have fostered will allow me to excel in my college studies, and contribute to my success as I eventually begin my career after college. I also have confidence that my life, in school and after will be used by the Lord to spread His light and gospel to the world. This is my ultimate goal in life, to follow and grow close to Him, and my growing confidence in defending my faith will greatly motivate me in my academic endeavors. Wanting to learn and wanting to grow as a child of God, striving for intelligence and character, are why I am pursuing college, and I believe my past experiences will be instrumental in achieving my future
Ethics is simply doing the right thing. In the business situation ethics are the moral concept of a firm getting through it organizational duties ethically.
