I believe that those values lead me to pursue my goals. I hope one day, in the near future I would be able to pay my parents back for helping me out when I needed them the most. Informal values are so important in life that they help you define social groups. For example; I found somebody with the same values as mine and married him because I believe we both have the same dreams in seeking to reach the same type of goals. Now, I apply those values to my life and even more so as a mother and wife.
I learned that my gift is awareness and justice. Being responsible and doing what is fair is very important to me. As loyalty and consistency are also very important, if I say I am going to do something I do it. My blind spot would be basically be that sometimes I get a bit blunt when it comes to fairness and even though I might not see it, it can cause unintentional upset and pain
They also struggled with understanding the difference between their ‘best alternative’ and the lens assigned ‘best alternative’. Ethical lenses adopted by individuals tend to influence decision making by affecting how problems and conflicts are approached. Your ethical lens of preference makes you ‘blind’ to the other approaches and makes it difficult to see the benefits of the other lenses and weaknesses of your own lens. This adds tension to groups because what seems like the best solution to a problem to a single team member might be completely inappropriate to another. The team found that these different approaches can create more issues within a team or group if you don’t understand that everyone has their own ‘right approach.’ To a rights and responsibilities lens approaching an issue head on and dealing with the conflict directly might not be fun, but it is necessary in order to move past the problem in the most efficient way possible.
This has always been in my head as I make tough decisions. It's very important to me to know that I am perceived as an individual with strong ethics. I believe, because of my dad's teachings, that the way I am perceived is extremely important. However, I know that it is equally important to live up to those expectations. Because of their strong moral backgrounds, my parents are huge role models for me.

In this essay I am going to discuss social care values and my own personal value base. We live our lives with values and principles and these differ depending on individual backgrounds i.e. culture, gender, age and class. Some of the values I live my life by are respect, honesty, being non-judgemental, hard working and grateful.
I’ve always been a curious individual who requires reasonable explanations for almost everything I come across in my life. In spite of my inquisitive nature, I had lacked the yearning to constantly be reading. Over time I realized what a massive disadvantage I was creating for myself. Television and social networking had taken over all my free time. I was beginning to notice a deficiency in my vocabulary and I was no longer aware of current events.
The traits I have chosen for my personal character are applicable to me because I have always looked upon the characteristics of a successful person and I believe my personal character possesses the traits. I am the oldest of my four siblings and it is necessary for me to be a role model and pave the path for each of them. My parents must depend on me to be responsible to look over them at times. I show my siblings my self-confidence so they can take that and overcome any challenges they might face and not to fear them. When they struggle on homework I’m there to navigate them through it until they are capable of doing it on their own.
The core values are much more than the standard for work, they are a standard for life. We volunteered to serve our country and should remember that our individual actions define not just us but also the Air Force. These are the standards that not only our superiors expect of us, but more importantly our team members. The bond we create through training and war is a bond built upon these values. The three Air Force Core Values reminds myself of the way I was raised and the morals my family instilled in my mind.
Within the twenty-first century, trust and ethics have become universal amongst the lives of all human beings of different cultural backgrounds, whether it is within everyday life or within the business world. To begin with, trust is the attribute of believing in the honesty and reliability of others, and ethics is the capability to distinguish between good and evil in the world, between right and wrong human actions, and between honorable and dishonorable characteristics of people. As time progresses onward, trust and ethics shall become more and more intertwined to one another since trust and ethics are so immensely correlated. Trust and ethics are related within everyday life by that some people believe that in order to be trustworthy one must be ethical in one’s actions, and within the business world, without great work ethics, one simply cannot achieve the trust needed in order to be promoted or perhaps, even hired at all. Within an ordinary day of any individual on earth, one might encounter trust and ethics without even perceiving it.
When asked to describe my core values, I was at first thrown for a loop. I have never really just sat down and thought about what characteristics were important to me. So I read the social work’s core values within the code of ethics, and realized I can definitely relate to each of the six values: Service, Social justice, Dignity and worth of the person, Importance of human relationships, Integrity, and Competence. I feel all future social workers have to be able to relate to those values in order to be a great social worker. Now for me as an individual, my own personal values that are imperative to me would be having resilience, being honest, staying true to oneself, and having compassion for others.
