Many people turn to their religion and use that as a standard to conduct themselves in an ethical manner. Meanwhile, those who work in a professional setting would be required to learn their ethical expectations from the workplace. Most importantly, we all pick up ethical behaviors from the
The Ethical Lens Inventory also helps you determine whether you begin an ethical analysis by focusing on the individual or the community. Two of the ethical lenses emphasize individuals determining for themselves what behavior is ethical. * Rights and Responsibilities Lens: You (autonomy) use your reason (rationality) to determine the universal principles and rules by which you and others should live. * Relationship Lens: You (autonomy) use your feelings and intuition (sensibility) to determine the choices that you should make to contribute to your happiness, and by extension, the happiness of all. The other two ethical lenses emphasize the community determining as a whole what behavior is ethical.
Ethical issues vary from legal issues because ethical issues are individualistic and legal issues are embodied in a system that governs society. The legal system gives continuous guidance regardless of the ethical issues involves (Guido, 2010). Personal values are individual thoughts about an idea, object, or a belief. Individuals communicate their needs through values, Rassin, (2008) states that, “social science considers values a key motivator for human behavior.” Personal values are derived from family teachings, religious beliefs, and societal. “Personal values are basic motivation beliefs about desirable modes or outcomes of individual behavior” (Rassin, 2008, p. 8).

I learn from past mistakes as well as building on past successes. I value other people’s rights and expect them to maintain their responsibilities as much as I do. However, I would never ask someone to do something I would not do. For example, I would not ask someone to give me the answers to a test because I would not do that myself. My ethical blind spot is my belief that motive justifies the method or overconfidence in the process.

Corey, Corey, and Callanan (1998) expresses values as the “beliefs and attitudes that provide direction to everyday living, whereas ethics pertain to the beliefs we hold about what constitutes right conduct.” (Freegard, 2012) (page #). Simmons 2015 identifies four commonly held values: Autonomy - Ability of the client to make decisions for themselves or to freely choose what they wish to do with their life. This is not an unrestricted right especially in child protection. Nonmaleficence - We don’t do anything to harm other people and workers must refrain from behaviours that might possibly put the clients at risk of harm. Beneficence - Beneficence and nonmaleficence are closely related but beneficence is stated positively as the value of promoting good and enhancing the well-being of others.
Health Care Ethics: Personal Ethics Reflection In this personal reflection paper I am going to analyze the ethical theories and principles that are most consistent with my own views and assist me in my own ethical decisions. The two that are most reflective of my decision process are the deontological ethics and the virtue ethics. This paper will go on to discuss the two theories of Communitarian and Utilitarianism and explain why they are the least consistent with my own perspectives. There will also be discussion about why I feel the ethical principle of respect for persons is most important to me and how I would handle a situation when this respect is threatened by paternalism. My Personal Ethical Theories Immanuel Kant argued that moral requirements are based on a standard of rationality (Johnson, 2012).
