My personal ethical lens is rights and responsibilities and relationship lens. This indicates that I use my reasoning skills to determine both the universal rules that each person should follow and the processes that will assure fairness and justice for all in the community. My strength is to know what to do and do it. Once it is said that I will do something or care for someone, that is what I do. Loyalty and consistency is valued. My weakness is the risk of being an autocratic. An autocratic is a person that has everyone do it their way and does not negotiate ro change it once their mind is made up. According to the ethical lens inventory the belief that motive justifies methods or overconfidence in process is my blind spot. The process is trusted too much even though the outcome is not promised to be what it should be. It states sometimes I am so focused on the good motive that I don’t see the problems with the method, causing unintentional upset and pain. Ethical lens inventory states that temperance and justice is my classic values. This means that I value individual balance and restraint in the desire for pleasure as you seek to satisfy my duties. I value the social balance achieved through loyalty and consistency in dealings among members of the community, especially those without power. The definition of ethical behavior is fulfilling duties fairly. Defined as an ethical person as one who fulfills their duties and does the right thing as fully-responsible adult. Everyone in the community is given the chance to succeed, especially those without power. 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, being the discussion questions or an assignment, I fulfill those tasks. Doing this will get everything in on time. My ethical lens influences my critical thinking knowing that I have to think things through, I ask questions when need be. No matter if it is…
My personal preferred lens is the Results Lens. According to this ethical view an action is ethical if good results come from good actions. A moral person must take actions that create the greatest good and the greatest happiness for many. I listen to my intuition. I use my sensibility to implement the decisions that will determine the greatest good. I try to be equal and fair.…

Upon completion of the learning style inventory exercises, I gained awareness of the learning styles that will continue to be discussed throughout the duration of this course. Being introduced to the different types of learning styles are of vital importance to me as a student, as it helps me discover ways in which I learn. The purpose of this exercise is to help us identify ourselves in accordance to when we feel successful at learning, and by that, what techniques we use and how we apply them to learn to the best of our ability. We were instructed to fill out various interrelated ideas on how people learn, and based on our personal opinions; rate them on a scale of one through four, with four being the strongest answer. We then would total up our answers, in each of the following categories: Concrete Experience (Feeling), Reflective Observation (Watching), Abstract Conceptualization (Thinking), and Active Experimentation (Doing) and represent our total numbers with drawing four connecting lines to create a formation of a “kite.” In every aspect of the grid within the learning style graph, the illustration of my ‘kite’ hit all the designation points to create a perfect four-sided kite. The numbers in which my lines connected to were all almost, or hit right at the peak of each side of the grid. This essentially means that for each learning style criteria, my totals scored high and were ranked a vast majority of fours.…
Learning is a challenging and dynamic concept to develop by the human brain. It allows us to challenge ourselves and our capacity to accomplish our goals. There is a variety of styles that can be used to retain and learn information. The Vark Test was created to help an individual in their learning styles and adopt new ways that can help improve as well. The scores received after taking the Vark Test were as follow Visual, Aural and Read/Write 5 and kinesthetic 4 known as a multimodal.…
This exercise has taught me a lot on my way of thinking, concentrating, and contact with people. I never knew that these learning styles determine how I perceive my everyday functions. Until now I always thought of myself being a Visual learner, I have to see it in order to understand it. I am a see it, to believe it type of woman. After taking the self-test and reviewing the chart, my way of thinking is much broader. I do all three of the learning styles. I had to sit back and say; am I weird? Am I just able to learn, all different Ways.…
Answering the questions from the Learning Style Inventory I established that my learning style is visual. This did not surprise me for I tend to remember faces rather than names and remembering information is vital when I have a textbook, visual aids, and written information (Bethel University, 2013, p. 19). Being a visual learner indicates that I learn with my eyes to retain the knowledge needed. This perhaps is beneficial because it requires me to understand my learning abilities to succeed in any aspect in life. In my personal and professional life being a visual learner provides me the ability to learn challenging and difficult tasks and skills. Taking on a class or subject would be simple by knowing that visual learners operate by observing…

However, health promotion goes beyond providing health teaching it will also increases the vitality and stimulate a sense of well-being.…
My personal ethics statement includes my values and ideas important to me as an academic and in everyday life. My ethics are personal and define who I am as a person. The decisions and choices I make every day should be consistent with integrity and respect toward others. These ethics will ensure any happiness and peace as I hold these values. I believe everyone should be equal. Treating people with respect while holding myself accountable will ensure I treat people as I want to be treated. My preferred ethical len is the unrealistic role either on me or by other means that I need to pay close attention to my expectations of others. My expectations may not be the same as others. I must keep in mind that I can’t control ever situation. And that other people are capable of resolving problems. Trusting other people’s choices and decisions will help overcome this blind spot. My strength include courage in the face of obstacles. I can avoid fast decisions and at the same time face anything difficult. I value friendship and keep close connection with people I trust. I appreciate those who work along by my side and help to encourage me. My weakness include entitlement, hardness of heart and confusion. Believing that I am entitled to special prividges and persuade others. Hardness of heart come from expriece of people. I must practice mindfulness not to be confused. Identifying my weakness is important it allows for improvement. My value define me and my behavior or who I am. My behavior also affect others in relationships either casual or professional. The choices I make and behavior reflect me. My personal ethics determine my course of actions allowing me to see clear. Exploring and digging deep into my own emotions will allow me to my decision I make. Keeping an open and honest heart in all situations and reexamining my ethics will allow for improvement and corrections. I believe these things will help me keep focus…
My ethical lens inventory results are none. I can see the gifts and the weaknesses of each lens. I can move fluidly among them to adapt the right tools to each situation to ensure the best outcome. I also listen to my intuition to determine the greatest good for everyone as well as the virtues that will best serve the community. My blind spot is none. I can see the strengths and weaknesses of each lens and to harmonize the four core values. I have five strengths. The first is I make ethical choices for myself and others. I can see myself and others clearly. My second strength is doing the right thing. I define an ethical person as one who does the right thing. I hold high standards for myself, but at the same time I do not judge who fall short. My third is tools for analyzing problems. I am in fact, comfortable using all available tools to analyze a problem. My fourth is balance, so I make decisions of self-knowledge, free will, justice, and compassion making sure I have used all lens equally. My fifth is I see can see clearly. I see the nature of the problem and use my head and heart to discern, which course of action will best manifest. I have four weaknesses: risk, temptation, vice, and crises. My risk is inaction. I have the risk of seeing everything and deciding nothing. My temptation is superiority. I tend to think I am the expert in all matters ethical. My vice is insistence on agreement. I sometimes insist that everyone agree before implementing a solution. That can…

“In almost every actual well-designed study, Mr. Pashler and his colleagues write in their paper, ‘Learning Styles: Concepts and Evidence,’ the pattern is similar: For a given lesson, one instructional technique turns out to be optimal for all groups of students, even though students with certain learning styles may not love that technique.” (2009) I wanted to start this paper with this quote since it did involve some sort of evidence that teaching in one style still works. Students can and do succeed and have received equal scores as their peers whose learning styles matched the teachers methods of teaching. I do believe however that students may not catch on as fast and lose interest easier when being taught material. This is why I would still use different methods of teaching versus just one. As a visual learner, I understand how difficult it can be to orally receive directions for an assignment or other activity. I thrive on written directions and learning materials that need to be read or are graphed. I often had to ask the teacher numerous times to repeat the directions because I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do. This put me behind and my grades occasionally suffered as a result.…
