Essay / Morality and Values for Daily Decisions: Personal Story
In this article I will discuss my values and morals in life that help me succeed in knowing what is right and wrong in daily life personal and professional. There is a lot going on in the world today and it is extremely important to establish values and morals. I will also discuss how cultural heritage has shaped my values and the ethical behaviors I see in myself. Every day I am constantly thinking about what my next move will be. I analyze everything that happens around me and pay attention to details. I find that before I speak or act, it usually keeps me on track and out of trouble. It is important to know what is right and wrong; that's why I believe that your childhood has a lot to do with how you are going to be in society. There are people who have a hard time knowing the difference between right and wrong, like someone who was neglected as a child because they didn't grow up with a parent telling them what to do. is wrong or what is right. They had to figure out most things on their own, so they lack morals and values. I knew this kid who grew up where his parents were divorced and his mom was depressed and didn't supervise him at all, so he did pretty much whatever he wanted to do, so when he became an adult, he was flying and catching things on fire. He knew that stealing and setting things on fire was wrong, but there was never anyone who cared enough about him to tell him as a child that it was wrong and that he was going to have to face the consequences. Needless to say, he was constantly in trouble in and out of prison. The Code of Ethics is made up of rules and principles put in place to help individuals determine what is right and what is wrong... middle of paper .... ...all people who cared, who taught me morals and values. Ethical development is a lifetime of learning and through the modules, I think I could benefit from learning more about codes of ethics, because the Counseling career that I want to achieve would be very helpful. I will know all the ethics rules so I will know what the boundaries are with clients. I would like to know more about ethics because it teaches us to face society in a positive way instead of a negative one. Morals and values are taught in childhood, but ethics gives us insight into what we are taught. Everyone should have positive people in their life to show them that life is what you make it.
