Ethical Profile


Please respond to the following so I can have an example to look to to write my own ethics profile:

1.Ethical Autobiography.
First, explain how you think through and determine what is right and wrong (personally and professionally) in your own daily life. Second, Identify four examples of ethical behaviors and explain how your cultural heritage has shaped your values. Third, describe the nature of the four ethical behaviors you see in yourself.

2. Professional/Ethical Hero.
First, identify an ethical hero, an individual that has most impressed you and serves as your role model because of their professional/ethical presence (i.e., sensitivity, appropriate boundaries, and respect for privacy, ethical commitment and ethical courage). Elaborate on his/her ethicalcharacteristics. Discuss how this person can (or does) serve as a role model for others in the helping profession. Second, describe how this hero has influenced your value system.

3. Ethical Decision-Making Style.
This section will articulate your implicit style in terms of ethical decision making. Although there are specific models which help facilitate ethical decision making, everyone has their own unique style. Taking into consideration the ethical decision making model presented in this course, identify the style that reflects your early and ongoing experiences with moral values and issues which has been influenced and shaped by your parents, relatives, peers and valued adults in your life, such as a teacher or coach. Use what you have written from your autobiography to supplement this discussion. In summary, explain your implicit ethical decision making style, including how this course and your cultural heritage have served as influential factors.
