Ethics
I have always been interested in learning more about ethics and all that is involved in it. I
was first introduced to ethics in my undergraduate while studying social work. In my
undergraduate course, I did ethics as a discrete course that focused on ethical principles, values,
and dilemmas that arise in social work practice. In my case, it was taught as a specific module
within the program while covering different ethical theories, code of ethics and their practical
applications of ethical decision-making in social work settings (Shdaimah & Strier, 2020). Ethics
was taught concerning my discipline of social work, as the major focus was on the unique ethical
challenges and considerations we will encounter in our professional practice. I equally focused
on studying, preparing, and conducting psychological research/ reports within social work.
There are various benefits to studying ethics in a broader context than a single discipline.
First, it gives an enhanced understanding that by exploring ethical issues across multiple
disciplines, students can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the common ethical
dilemmas faced by professionals in different fields. It is equally very essential to learn ethics in a
broader context as it enables transferrable skills. For instance, in my case, it helped us develop
critical thinking skills and ethical decision-making skills that we applied in many situations that
faced us. Learning ethics also helps broaden perspectives, not just being inclined to a particular
aspect (Shdaimah & Strier, 2020). This can be simplified in that exposure to diverse ethical
perspectives can promote empathy, tolerance, and respect for differing viewpoints, contributing
to well-rounded professionals who can navigate complex ethical situations with cultural
sensitivity. I have not directly worked in the ethics field, but I use ethics in my everyday
professional practice in social work. I occasionally attend different ethics training programs to
sharpen me on the current ethics needs in my practice field. Generally, the trainings cover how to
practice ethics in social work. Ethics is usually very important, and I would always want to learn
more about ethics and their applicability in my practice.
