Check Point: Ethics Awareness Inventory Jeannie Gilmore University Of Phoenix

Ethics Awareness Abstract Ethics denotes the principles of behavior that express how to act correctly, honorably, and impartially in diverse conditions. Ethics is the study of standards of conduct and moral

judgment (Websters New Worlds College Dictionary). The words "ethics" and "ethical" discuss behaviors that people's daily routines are generally structured; they relate to the many standards, ideologies, regulations, advices and determinations that describe customs, societies and selfrestraints. (Vanderbilt University, 2008) The Ethics Awareness Profile indicated that I have a close alignment with the obligation and equity factors of the core scoring system The EAI stated, You consider that ethical behavior appeals to conscience. In deciding whether a persons actions are fitting, you look to the objective behind the persons deeds rather than centering on outcomes. Your standpoint for ethical codes must be: (a) suitable under any conditions (universalizable); (b) courteous of social pride; and (c) dedicated to encouraging individual free will and independence. People must never be treated basically as means to the achievement of some well-defined end. The end does not justify the means. (Williams Institute EAI, 2013) . Ethical style defined me as; Your method to ethics necessitates that, within lawful and civilized restrictions, individuals should be permitted to make their own selections. Responding to whim, character, or regulations controlled by others for us to observe does not establish ethical demeanor on our part. You believe that encouragement of individual development takes priority over attaining proficiency through structural and collective configurations that tend to dehumanize ethical decision making. (Williams Institute EAI, 2013)

Ethics Awareness When faced with an ethical situation in the work place I know I will be able to keep my values

and state those in a non-offensive way as to reaffirm by beliefs of right and wrong yet accomplish what is expected of me in that work place. The last statement of the EAI described me perfectly as to the articulation of my perspective: Obligation -- People are always an end in themselves, never a means to an end. The Golden Rule is non-negotiable. Personal Attributes: Consistent, Committed, Dependable, Respectful, Straight arrow.
