As an assignment I had to research professional ethics, provide a definition, detail a real life ethical issue, provide a resolution for the issue, and give a brief reflection of what I learned by completing the assignment. Below is an excerpt from the paper detailing what I learned through the process. You will also find a link to the assignment in its entirety.
Reflection of what I learned
“The delegation of responsibility and work expectations to an unqualified person, without proper training and resources is unethical. Through the process of researching and studying professional ethics I have been able to reflect upon my own work environment and pinpoint why it is not always effective at facilitating learning. I have also been able to think through possible solutions as to how to fix the issues. With this experience and knowledge I feel as though I can go back to the workplace and offer alternatives to improve the situation we are in.
Professional ethics provide a rubric on how we can attain success in the workplace. Overall this assignment has helped me to see the importance of professional ethics in terms of success in the workplace.”
