Teaching Notes - Discussion Questions

1. What do you value? Can you make a list of the three or four values you would stand up for? How will you explain to others what your values are and why?

This is the perfect place to begin linking the values exercises you (hopefully) did with your students in Chapter 2, with why it is important to identify their values. It is difficult, if not impossible, to voice values, if you have no idea what your values are! Go to the “Giving Voice to Values” website: (http://www3.babson.edu/babson2ndgen/GVV/default.cfm.

There are many exercises available there, which can help you teach the importance of identifying values and then provide tools you can use to help students begin to practice voicing their values.

2. Have you ever practiced raising an ethical issue to a professor or to your manager? What did you do? What were the results?

Again, see “Giving Voice to Values.” This would make a great homework assignment.

    School House Weave Analysis

    Build planned opportunities into the course. Plan to discuss the Core Values in the context of the subject-matter you are teaching. Where are values issues most likely to come up with your students? Identify those opportunities and weave core values discussions into the lesson plans you already have. For example, when discussing maintenance forms, an instructor may also add to that technical discussion a discussion of the temptation to lie on such forms. In this way the instructor will reinforce the Core Values and demonstrate to the students the everyday role of the…

    * Step 3. Identify the important values and principles for you and the others who are involved: Values are grounded in beliefs which may be held consciously or unconsciously and are sometimes highly charged with emotion. For instance, a belief in God may predispose one to value human life as the most important value. Though sometimes difficult to articulate and not necessarily derived from a reasoning process, beliefs have a legitimate…

    Reflexive Journal

    Values was the one of the opening discussions on our first module of training. We had to explore and think about our true values on how it affects us as the person we are. Being honest, non-assuming, empathetic, inclusive, caring equality amongst many things I felt was my under lying values. I was very surprised to learn how these values reflected in my working practice, for example being inclusive, give people a chance to listen and speak and treating everyone from different cultures equally. Giving everyone the same value as respect in different ways as everyone isn’t the same. I felt this was a very important part to begin with and understand who you are and what you are so that I am able to identify how my values actually play out in my practice, it encouraged me to reason and my look deeper into why I actually do certain things in my own everyday practical skills.…

    Based on my previous statement, the legal consideration would be if there is not adequate treatment plan being offered, who is at fault for the aftermath. If there is a child produced due to the rape, it can be argued that there was not an adequate level of care given by emergency room physician. And that physician either chose not to or took it into their own hands to make the choice for someone regarding what is best for them. How can that decision be made for the patient, if they are in sound state of mind…

    Ethics and Integrity

    Ethics and Integrity

    I have learned a great deal about the difference between integrity, morality, and ethics. From the article, the term integrity means that it is “a matter of a person’s word—nothing more and nothing less”. It is important that one should know the difference between integrity, morality, and ethics. I learned that integrity is more on the commitment a person makes and keeps to fulfill what he/she said he would do. I feel it poignantly relates to my experience right now as I am writing this article. I am truly grateful once again Brother Preece for this opportunity to submit this article. I’m thankful that you have allowed me to send it till this last day of the year. As I want to be a man of integrity, I am submitting this article today. There are a lot of personal experiences that I can relate to with the concept of integrity. When I was on my mission, I had to commit to never disobey the mission rules. I kept that commitment and I feel that my mission president deems me a man of integrity. I would like to continue explaining some other instances in my life where I experienced integrity. For now, I want to explain the other two concepts of morality and ethics. Morality is of a broader scope. It refers to the principles and ideologies of good and bad behavior expected by the general society. Ethics, on the other hand, refers to expectations of values a group or organization should uphold. Ethics is an integral value—meaning it differs from different social groups to the other. For instance, Catholics might not deem drinking beer as a negative behavior, in fact they might deem it as something worth it for socializing and having fun. However, in the LDS church, we deem it unethical to drink beer because of our belief in the Word of Wisdom. I often had that discrimination in the Philippines with my Catholic friends, laughing at the fact that I abstain from alcohol. But I realize from…

    Human Values

    Human Values

    Questions that are not so burning these days are those of the societal structure and the evolution of human not only as a living creature, but also as a civilized societal animal. The complacency about his/her omnipotence finds a reflection in the human values that are so well galvanized to the human nature since times ancient. So does narrow-minded selfishness ooze to subdue what the religious gurus had been preaching since past as essential human values. Put simply, the centrifugal force of the society that has been on the drop is what we know as the ‘human values’. This is what distinguishes the flesh and blood from the other primates, although on the present date massive degradation of the same has also dealt a severe blow to the parameter of morality that the society has always aimed at promoting. Human values are the roots of the human race as the basic feelings of compassion and love are the elements that hold us on the pedestal higher, so that we may be boastful of our omnipotence. Human values in us develop over years as the civilization progresses and it is directly proportional to the nature of the culture of the respective human communities. That is to say, an anthropological study would be of quite a revelation about the different cultural values of members of that community. However, personal values are directly reflected in the way of socializing of any individual. But, while human values are intertwined with the moral values, post-structuralism may be referred to as the explanation for the impending jeopardy of the loss of the humane nature. The era has put to question every predefined norm and has an inherent nature of redefining hard-laid regulations, and thus in the dearth of clarity of judging it braves to shatter the very values that have led us to the…
