Write a personal ethics development plan that examines your personal ethical system, values and ground rules. Students can utilize the results of the various assessments they completed throughout the semester as well to aid in the development of this plan and reflection. They can also use the below guiding questions to craft their paper. There is no length to this paper, but be sure to not simply try to combine the assessments into one paper. Rather synthesize them to aid you in crafting your development plan.
• Focus on the developmental aspect of your ethics on a particular position that you may seek employment or are currently employed, and after review of the career choice code of ethics, how can you develop yourself to mesh with the ethical guidelines that profession follows?
• Define your underlying ethical theory/s and system, its primary principles, the sources that helped shape your ethics—such as people, institutions, events, and so forth—and the criteria and decision-making factors you have used to revise them.
• Discuss the potential effect of your ethics on your performance within the career field you choose (police, corrections, victim services, etc.) or use of them in the workplace. Use a specific personal example.
• Explain why ethics are needed in the organization (CJ career choice organization you chose) and how ethics are integrated into an organization to achieve its direction and goals. What effect does the application of these ethics have on individuals, organizations, and society?
