People see fate as something they have control over due to being able to make decisions changing the outcome of their lives. Keeping in mind all individuals do not have the same luxury. External impact the course of his or hers destiny. Race, background and religion assist in predetermining someone's life outcome. These key factors are not acted out by mankind, but by fate.…

Growing up my parents would have been proud of me graduating high school alone. Since I knew that’s all they really cared about at the moment, I never gave myself a true thought on what I wanted to do or become because I was just focused on graduating and nothing else. My second year of high school is when I was told by my counselor Mrs. Davenport that I should join clubs because it would look better on my application and resume for college. College was something that I never really discussed with anyone because no one in my family talked about ever going, yet I had a feeling that Mrs. Davenport knew what she was talking about. I then decided that since I’m doing track and can handle school, why not try an academic club out. There were so many clubs I could join, but I did not know what which club I would belong to. I honestly just choice one that I thought would be a smart…
Even though blind spots and weaknesses in ethics can hinder outcomes, improving and using my ideals with compassion and care for others will benefit the community. Completing the Ethical Lens Inventory activity put into perspective areas of my ethics and how decisions I make may affect my outcomes. This exercise made me look at myself as if through someone else’s eyes by showing me my preferred ethical lens, blind spot, strengths and weaknesses, my values, and the resulting behaviors.…
My personal code of ethics is Equality and Sensibility. I believe in a predictable system that assures the well-being of all, especially those without power, is a just system. As a wife, mother, nurse and a member of a community, I strive to do the best I can in every aspect of my life. As a mother, I strive to be a good role model to my children and teach them the fundamentals of life. I strive to be able to give a solid foundation and an easy path to life whether it be school, finding who they want to be as they grow older and for a productive future. As a nurse, I strive for equality of care for every patient and to be able to be their voice when they are not able to speak for themselves. As a member of the community, I strive to lend a hand for the needy and helpless. I speak for and ask help for them i.e. my neighbor, who leaves alone and has no family to be by her side.…

As a student of higher education, I strive for autonomy in my environment I am able to use my rationality and sensibilities to create a culture of equality.

My ethical perspective as identified by the Ethical Lens Inventory is that I am able see gifts and the weakness of each lens and adapt the right tools to each situation for the best outcome. My ability to use the right tools in a situation means I am mature.…
1001 Nights has many stories, with the same theme fate vs. free will. In these stories…
I determine what is right or wrong usually by checking if it can fit into my ethic standard and general law. It is all-known that general law is sacrosanct, which set by government and everyone has to obey in order to make a peaceful society. So law is an essential part of my consideration of determination of right and wrong. That means anything against the law to me that there is no doubt this thing is wrong. There was a controversial murder case in 2004: A student Ma Jia Jue killed four of his roommates and fled. It was obvious that he has to admit crime and faced death penalty but story behind this crime made people had sympathy to him and they wanted court to forgive him and give him the second chance. Ma Jia Jue was a poor student and he worked hard to raise his family; He wore the simplest clothes all the time; He was a diligent and smart student and everyone expected he has bright future. But his roommates looked down on him and did many immoral things such as peed on his bed and put pepper in his water. He could not bear anymore and lost control. From my moral aspect I think his roommates were despicable and he was in the weak side. This issue reflected the tragedy of the poor in society. But no matter how the weak side is pitiful, doing a illegal thing is unforgivable and deserved law punishment and could not escape from it. So I think in this case, what Ma Jia Jue did was wrong.…
Reviewing my work culture preferences activities, I must agree with the results. It certainly coincides with my ideal work culture. Having spent the last twenty plus years of my life working for the military and other working environments similar to the military that are teamwork centered, ethical and well resourced.…
When we’re young, we think that nothing can hurt us, we’re invincible, and there’s a good chance we can live forever. We want to do many things that are risky and questionable without even thinking about the possibility of death. We don't realize what could've happened until we are older and have more of a realization of death and its entirety. At seventeen, I have had my fair share of near death experiences and look back and think to myself how life could be over in an instant. Death isn't really about if and how it’s going to happen, but when it’s going to happen.…
If I could find something/someone who could grant me three wishes I would have many thoughts going through my mind. It would be a great, yet very indecisive moment. I would have to think of what that wish can do to my future, if it would make it better or make it a bad future that no one would like to have. My 1st wish would be to have a great future not only me but my family as well, because I know that by wishing that my next two wishes will not bring bad luck upon me.…
A person’s philosophy will vary depending on one’s life experience. I believe that no two people will have seen life in the same way. There would be many people that have similar philosophy on life but none of them would be exactly the same. I will share my ideas and thoughts on what is my philosophy of life. The way that I have experienced life has made me change my way of thinking more than once, am sure it will change again. What is my purpose in life? What is anybody’s purpose in life? That’s a question that we all deal with, why are we here, what is the point of life? There is the thought that are purpose of life only known by God. That he has chosen it for before we were ever born, and that part of the reason is to be here for someone else. If I would have asked this questions three four years ago I would have answered with, I have no idea.…
