Reflective Essay: The Ethical Lens Inventory
The Ethical Lens Inventory supports Equality and Sensibility as my core values. The results describes that I “prioritize the value of equality over autonomy” (ELI inventory). In addition, it indicates the well being of the community as my primary concern as the “best way to assure that individuals are treated fairly” (ELI inventory). The explanations of these core values reassure my conviction that one-size-fits all approach isn’t the best way to find solutions, but rather the best results are achieved by examining each situation in its context. In other words, I prioritize the value of sensibility over rationality.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word fortitude as ‘strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear
pain or adversity with courage”. The Ethical Lens Inventory identify Fortitude as my classical virtue, and it defines it as the “courage and steadiness in the face of obstacles”. As such I tend to avoid rash actions while at the same time charting an untested course. I value connections and friendship, appreciating those who work. I truly identify myself with avoiding impulsive decisions, but at the same time show determination and the resolution to make decisions.
In an ethical framework the reputation virtue means the strength shown to face the hurdles of an ethical question. I concord with David Hegg, who explains that we hassle with these simple questions in our work setting almost in a daily basis: “Which contractor should we use? Which dealership should we trust? Who can we believe? Where can we go to find an honest opinion and a fair deal? All these questions come back to the same starting point: How do we determine the character of those on whom we depend?” (2012).
