In the article “Ethics Awareness”, I learned how acting ethically is always the right thing to do, but it’s not always easy. When discussing unethical behaviors, that could get people into big trouble as it can lead to criminal charges, lawsuits, wasted time, fraud, and so much more. It is important to make ethical decisions to avoid those unethical behaviors from happening. There were six listed core ethical values that were listed on the article which were trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, caring, and citizenship. I have experienced these core values many times throughout my life as I have had jobs where these have been required. While working as an intern at NCSU football, I used respect. I always wanted to treat others with respect and was considerate of their options they listed or listened to ideas they had. I treated my other interns with respect as I would want them to treat me with respect. Caring was also used as we had to care for one another during difficult situations that occurred. We would always be there for each other and would be there for each other if anyone needed help. Making ethical choices in a workplace can be difficult but there are seven steps that can better you as a person, and allow you to make good decisions. Stop to think is one of the most important steps to me, as that is the start of the process. Allowing yourself to stop and think about all possible outcomes and options can create lots of opportunities for you to come ahead. Along the way there will be consequences. It is important to think about those who will be affected, and what you might need to do to take ease off of people this is affecting.
