Rational Person

Ethical Lens Summary

This exercise was a questionnaire that went through how I personally work through issues. After answering the questions, the simulation listed me as preferring the right lens. I am a very rational person. I like to think problems through and I always follow the rules. This assessment is very much like me. I am a very structured person. It bothers me when situations do not work the way they should. I am a responsible person and I follow through with what I say I am going to do because it is the right thing to do. I also expect that from others to do the same.

I do recognize that my personality trait can make it difficult for me to think outside of the box. I can be very narrow-minded at times. It is something that I have been trying to overcome. I am working on not being so rigid. I make efforts to step back in situations and observe even though my first reaction is to take over if an individual is not handling a situation well. Overall, I was impressed with this simulation because it did describe me quite accurately

There are four ethical perspectives; rights and responsibilities lens, relationship lens, results lens, and reputation lens. There are also four core values; rationality, equality, sensibility, and autonomy. Each lens incorporates certain reasoning skills. I am a combination of all four ethical perspectives. My personal ethical perspective is periscope vision. This means that I’m able to use strengths from all the different core values to my advantage and adapt to each situation.

Integrity would be the best way to describe my personal ethical viewpoint. To me, this means doing the right thing. I expect others to have and use integrity as well. It upsets me very much when I find out that someone is being less than honest. Integrity is something that should be practiced at all times, not displayed occasionally for your benefit.
