My personal preferred lens is: Rights and Responsibility and Relationship Lens.
My rationality to determine both, the universal rules that each person should follow, autonomy and the processes that assure fairness and justice for all in the community equality. Because I believe that a consistent process results in a just outcome for all, I sometimes trust the process to much. I forget that unequal access gives rise to unjust outcomes, even when the process itself is fair. I make sure that both my head and heart agree. Although I do a good job of balancing the needs of the community and the rights of individuals, I do tend to be rigid in my application of universal principles regardless of
circumstances.
My weaknesses: exhaustion, isolation, and guilt. Unless I develop the practice of mindfulness and reflection at some point I will become exhausted. No one can meet all of the obligations that your “Responsible Self” has on your to-do list. I will also become isolated, guilty that I cannot guarantee justice, or even fair process, and that I resent the lack of gratitude from those I help. I value individual balance and restraint in the desire for pleasure as I seek to satisfy my duties. I also values the social balance achieved through loyalty and consistency in dealings among members of the community, especially those without power.
Faculty are responsible for being ethical about their relationships with students. Things that are not okay: telling your student's boyfriend's father about the student's performance in class, or grading the student unfairly because she/he is a democrat. Ethics are a complex series of values that guide human actions. Many individuals are lead by ethics both in their personal lives and in the world of work. The ethical constraints that guide these individuals in each arena are not, however, necessarily the same. Though there is commonly some overlap, personal and professional ethics often differ from each, leading individuals to behave differently depending upon the setting.
