Collaboration And Moral Reflection Of The Actions

Improved Essays
In this second examination of conscience, I will discuss my moral imagination and moral reflection of the actions I engaged in on Saturday, October 28, 2017. Moral imagination is you saying “I’m going to put myself in the other person’s shoes and see how it makes them feel”. Once you have put yourself in their situation and experience their feelings, you will better be able to understand their point of view on different matters. Moral reflection is my desires and feelings, as well as my actions, words, and behaviors and how I felt about them at the time I acted on them. I will discuss what I did positively and the things I could have done better. I will also state how I can change my actions in the future to improve my morality in the situation. …show more content…
I tried to imagine myself in my teammate’s shoes. All ten other players on the field did their job. I failed to do my job, giving my teammates the right to not trust me with the football. I’m supposed to do my best in order to help lead our team to success. I wouldn’t want to do my job and march the ball down the field, and have one of my teammates fumble, negating all of our progress. Not only would this steal momentum away from our team, but puts strain on our defense and gives the opponent the upper hand. I rarely fumble to football, but if you fumble the football when the game is on the line, then you have the potential to be the reason your team lost. Looking from my teammates view, if I were to lose the game for us with a fumble, then I wouldn’t trust me to be in the game in tight game …show more content…
Nobody chooses to fumble. That does not mean that you didn’t act wrongly in doing so. For example if you tried on a watch and accidentally walked out of the store with it, you didn’t purposely do it, but your action produced a negative outcome. I violated a silver rule. I wouldn’t want one of my teammates to fumble, therefore I should not fumble and hurt my teammates as well. Although my actions were negative, I embrace the mistakes I made. I believe you learn from your mistakes. Regardless of how me hurting my team bothered me, It is only going to produce positive future benefits. It is only going to make me work harder and focus more to improve myself. I learned from the mistakes I made and learned how to use them to better

    There were many decisions that I had to make in order to positively impact the team. One of these was kicking a teammate of the team due to an incident at a party on the weekend. I could have either voted to not kick him off which would make the football team look bad and show other players they can get away with the same act. Or kick him off showing the school the football team takes pride in being a good example around the school and show the underclassmen that we do not put up with what this player partook in. Furthermore, we did kick the player off the team in turn looking at the bigger picture of the team as a whole and not my own personal…

I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium.
