Wants to do what he/she believes is right and avoid what is wrong. | MORAL DEVELOPMENT: Six to Seven Years Old…
In my past 18 years, I have been living in an environment that people telling me what should I do and what should I not to do. My mum taught me to be a good role model for my younger sister, my dad told me to study hard so I can have a good future. By going to school, teachers teach me that what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ from the textbook and I have also been learning that from the TV, newspaper and radio. The mass media is always a channel for me to receive what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ about the social. For example, there are critics about the politics, environmental issues etc.From time to time, my moral compass had been shaped by my parents and the social norms.…
1 Building an Ethical Organization part 2 July 21, 2013 HSM/230 Cheryl Henry 2 An ethical organization is not only best for the people it serves but also best for the organization. Being able to describe the organization is key to helping others understand what it is that the employees are trying to accomplish. A mission statement helps to keep the ideals or the organization in mind, as well as establishing what target population they would help. A values statement help the organization to communicate its moral side with potential clients and others. A code of ethics helps the organization’s personal to know what is and what is not acceptable within the workplace and outside of it but while representing the organization. An organizational culture needs to be determined for the organization and the community around it to know what is expected and accepted from the organization, in terms of cultural needs.…

The guidelines and principles established in an organization help direct its employees and management staff alike. It will help employees in their decision making and daily job functions. If the organization's values are expressed and codified into a code of ethics, with performance guidelines, every member of the organization can assess and act confidently on situations requiring ethical choice (2000). A Code of Ethics should be established as well to reflect the values of an organization. It should include key values such as trustworthiness, respect, fairness, responsibility, caring and citizenship. The Code of Ethics go hand and hand with an organizations mission statement and principles.…

A compass is a navigational tool used to guide its user in a desired direction. It has four directions; east, west, north and south. A moral compass, which I have recently learned, is also used to guide its user in a desired direction. A moral compass, when used, will provide its user moral focus as the user learns to lead in an ever more challenging and demanding world throughout their life and career. A good leader needs a moral compass that will keep the leader grounded in his most cherished values while negotiating and collaborating with people who may have radically different value systems and lifestyles. As does a navigational compass, a moral compass also has four major directions, or parts. Moral Vision, Moral Code, Moral Fitness, and Moral Performance make up the directions of the moral compass. While learning about the moral compass, I have reflected on my past and thought about my future, both personally and professionally. I have taken the four directions of the moral compass and applied them to my own life and career.…
September 23, 2012 Moral Compass A moral compass is anything that is used to guide a person’s decisions based on morals or virtues. (Dictionary, 2012) I use my moral compass to guide my nursing to help me make ethical decisions when caring for my patients. My moral compass is the part of me that has values of integrity, responsibility, compassion, purpose, and trust. I have learned these from my parents. I grew up in a large family, where all these values were instilled in us on a daily basis. My mother was a strict catholic and you can bet we went to mass every Sunday. I also went to catholic schools and having a strong since of right and wrong was drilled into me daily. My family has strong religious beliefs. I always knew what my parents expected of me and that gave me a strong sense of security. My parents expected me to have a good work ethic, be responsible, have integrity, and have an obligation to do what is right. I think my family life and upbringing has had a strong influence over me and my nursing ethical decisions.…
Time to Dust Off Our Moral Compass Is there an objective set of rules governing our behavior of right and wrong decisions, or does morality come from our personal own preferences? The phrase “gut feeling” is something most people would describe as our own guide to what is right or wrong. It is like when we feel pain, we do not need someone to tell us it hurts, we just know it does on our own. However, as young adults, we tend to fall back on our society’s morals and change our objective morality to subjective morality. This means that instead of thinking about how our decisions will affect our society as a whole, we focus in on how it will impact our own lives. The generation of today does have a sense of what is right and what is wrong, we just push it aside from time to time to benefit our own lives. Young adults and teenagers are capable of understanding what is truly right or wrong. We have the maturity and the intelligence level to discern a good decision from a bad one. In our society we understand that murder is wrong, drugs are bad, and eating healthy is good. As a whole we have a general outline as to what are acceptable and unacceptable choices. It is when we stop looking at the big picture and hone in on our own personal needs that we veer off the path of our moral compasses. We then develop a very selfish and unequal way of living due to everyone being out for him or herself.…
