ethics

This week's discussions on ethical matters made me realize several things. First of all, the vague nature of the diction revealed a naive side of me. Secondly, I learned the importance of principles and one's own ethical standards in the workplace. 

My own ethical principles are based on the lessons I have learned growing up. Influences would include my friends, family, organizations, and academics. The importance of ethics to me is really based on the future. The questions that I consider before completing a task consist of things such as: how will I feel about this matter in a week, would I be willing to openly talk about this later, or how will this shape the opinion of me by people who I consider important?
