Today I would like you to reflect on your own personal ethics and morals when it comes to work situations and your potential career.
a) What sorts of moral and ethical situations (challenges) do you think you will face in your future career?
b) Why is it important to be true to yourself and these morals?
c) What is more important in your job: happiness or financial success? Why?
d) How will you measure whether or not you are successful in your career? Explain.Keep in mind all the issues, ideas and situations we have discussed in class over the past couple weeks, and refer back to the worksheets we have done on the various newspaper and magazine articles which deal with these issues
A) i think in my future career what ever that is i will face many ethical situations. I ve worked at my fair share of places already and have expierenced stealing, lying, fighting and many other sittuations. I believe these are situations that take place in almost every work place and will ber in my future places as well.
B)It is always important to be true to your self, because no matter what you do you ahve to live with it the rest of your life. Id rather be able to sleep knowing im a good person then get ahead of others by lying and cheating my way there. Also if you stay true to your self and your morals others will recognize this and respect you for it.
C)I believe both are equally as important. SOme may say that happeniess is the most important thing however, if you work in a job that may make you happy but you dont make enough money the stress factor comes into play. I believe that the best is to find a good balance between money and a good job. Whenever i start to hate my job i look at the good parts about it and how its better then my other jobs. So in conclusion i believe finaccail success and happiness are equally as important, but its hard to have both so you must find balance.
D)I measure my success in a job by looking at the amount of work and effort i have put to get to taht place. If i have put in a great amount of effort and feel like i have achieved something i believe that is success. Also if i am happy with where i am and content with my job that would also be success in my eyes.
