The Challenge of Personal Ethics

Ethical decisions and actions are complicated and often challenging. Our personal ethics or moral codes, practiced thoughtfully, guide our personal behavior and engagement with other people. Often, we act according to our own ethics without even thinking about them.

Drawing on the “Moral Orientation Questionnaire” table in the Becoming an Ethical Helping Professional text, select an answer to Questions 1 and 2:

• Question 1: “The best way to accomplish good things in the world is to:”
• Question 2: “The worst possible evil in the world occurs when:” (Sommers-Flanagain & Sommers-Flanagan, 2015).

Then, provide a brief explanation about each choice. Analyze your awareness of those ethical principles in your everyday life, professional life, and academic life.

Your initial post must:

• Be at least 250 words in length.
• Contain a minimum of two references with citations in APA style.
• Follow APA style guidelines.

2. When we are confronted with the actions or positions of other people, we are obliged to ask, “How is my ethical position or stance similar to or different from others’?” Then, we are usually faced with the questions, “Will my actions have the intended consequences?” and “What are the possible unintended consequences that might result from my actions?”

To complete this discussion, draw on the Becoming an Ethical Helping Professional text, where the authors consider ethical theories and philosophies from the Western European and non-Western European perspectives, such as Confucianism, Islam, African ethical systems and American Indian ethics.

• Compare your personal ethical standards to two of the ethical theories or philosophies described in the text.
• Discuss the possible challenges a human services professional may encounter when engaging an employee or client who practices different ethical standards from his or her own.

Your initial post must:

• Be at least 250 words in length.
