Before I started this assignment I had no idea what the ethical lens inventory meant, I was confused. I just followed the directions and started working on the assignment. As I was answering the questions, I had a couple of questions that repeated and in my mind seemed similar and I thought, “I just answered this question,” but at the end I understood why the questions, were like that. It was because it was testing my values. My ethical lens inventory report showed me my preferred ethical lens, blind spot, strengths and weaknesses, and my values and the resultant behavior. My preferred ethical lens revealed that I am

The only weakness I have is adapting to change. I never knew I had this kind of trouble in life, but I learned about something I have to work on. After analyzing it I realize it is a problem. Because I get nervous when I start something new or when I get stuck doing something I cannot do, I start to get frustrated. After learning this about myself, I need to work on making my weakness into strength by adapting to any type of changes in my life. My strengths included following instructions and adhering to values. I am very good when I have instructions in front of me as I build something new or when I have an assignment. Following instructions is my biggest strength in my life because it is something I use every day. Adhering to values is something new that I learned about myself just because I never noticed it in my life. I am the type of person who will stand by the truth in every situation around my. My values and the resultant behaviors I had difficulty locating on my results, but I have many values. Some of my values include autonomy and equality. I do treat people around me equal and believe that everyone is equal. Even though I am married, I like to be very independent with my life. I tend to do everything by myself, and there are times that I need help, but I refuse to ask for it and just deal with

    After taking the Ethical Lens Inventory, I have discovered that my personal lens is the Results Lens. Upon further reading I discovered how that translated into my values, strengths, weaknesses, and my blind spot as well as how to see more clearly. The key phrase for those with the Results Lens is “I make choices that are good for everyone.”…

    I use my reasoning skills (rationality) to determine what duties are as well as the universal rules that each person should follow (autonomy). By prioritizing the value of autonomy over equality my primary concern is prospecting individual rights. I believe this is always the best way to assure that everyone in the community is treated equally. Believing all person should follow the same set of universal rules so strongly that I resist making exceptions even when intuition suggests a more passionate result. I found this result to be very true of myself. My personal ethical lens may direct my academic behavior into the positives. If all is true as the ethical lens states then when I set my mind to a project,…

    The ethical lens inventory has done an excellent job at teaching me about myself; things that I did not know or had pointed out to me in the past. I 100% agree with my preferred ethical lens which is the reputation lens, I use sensibility to find equality for all. I defiantly do feel like I do that or strive to achieve this. My blind spot of having unrealistic role expectation is something I know all to well, having fell victim to it in the past. Sometimes I forget that we are all human and cannot achieve all we are supposed to all of the time i.e. daily tasks or mission tasking. So, now after identifying this I will in the future keep this in mind to help me overcome it when it does cross my path again. After reviewing all this information regarding my lens and values I get the feeling that I am really role orientated. This sounds to be reasonable and something I believe is a direct result from my time in the military. An enlistee is taught the core values and that person learns to eat, breathe and sleep these values.…

    The ethical lens inventory exercise is very useful and something that I have lost sight of over the years. I was first introduced to this concept when I first applied for a sales position over a decade ago. After completing the exercise, the results of my answers places me in the Rights and Responsibility Lens. Since no one is perfect, having blind spots is inevitable, my blind spot as a result of my answers states that "belief that motive justifies method." My strengths are reason and self knowledge, whereas my weakness is becoming judgmental and legalistic.…

    It also explained how one might deal or reason in certain situations. After completing the ethical lens inventory, no ethical lens was determined. This means that the preferred lens was neither periscope nor paralysis. A person that is neither periscope nor paralysis sees the gifts and weaknesses of both and is able to adapt to different situations and get the best results possible. This type of person is non judgmental and considers all things before coming to a conclusion. According to the ethical lens inventory, autonomy and equality are valued equally. Their belief is that everyone has a valid point. No blind spot was determined. The maturity of this person sees both strengths and weaknesses and is able to bring together the four core values of autonomy, equality, rationality, and sensibility.

    Everyone has strenghts and weaknesses during there academic time. I also have strenghts and weaknesses in my academic time. The strengths that I have is that i am always on time at college, I am never late for any of my classes. Also my strenghts during my college time were my psychology classes except biology which was my weakness because my biggest weakness is to memorize and study. It's really hard for me because it becomes really hard for me to remember something for a test. But on the other side I feel that I am really strong in my class presentation. When i entered college I felt my greatess weakness was to go infront of the class and do a presentation but after some time in college i felt that I was becoming better and better after performing infront of the class. It became one of my strenghts today which I am really happy about it. My other weakness was to read all my assignments on time especially books that i hated reading. This was also one of my weaknesses, i always almost read all my books or assignments at the last point which made me extremly stressed because everything i did was at the last minute, but as the semesters passed by I always tried to to my assignments not on the last minute but way before my hand in time which became on of my strenghts once again.…
