I was twenty-five years old, single, and a lab tech at a local hospital. I always thought of being a nurse but considered other jobs as well. I believe in the value that every individual should be treated with love and respect. I also believe in the value of a team or group effort.
Martha is fifty-one years old, married, and a deli worker by day and a telemarketer at night.
Martha’s moral commitment to animals is impressively strong. Myself and Martha are different people, living different lives however our lives have some similarities and differences. Myself and Martha both have selected our occupations based our moral values, commitments and taking in consideration our financial obligations; although our ages, reasons, and attachment …show more content…
“Values are especially relevant to moral functioning. For instance, in Rest et al.’s model of moral behavior, personal values pertain to the component of moral motivation, this affecting whether the individual is willing to take an action she or he has deemed to be right” (Juujarvi, Myyry, Pesso 414). Myself and Martha share similar morals, however how we adapt them to our jobs differ. I did not always want to be a lab tech, after graduating high school I considered other jobs. After thinking and considering my moral values I selected a job based on my moral values which directly relate to helping others feel better and whole again.

Unlike myself, Martha does not follow the spirit of capitalism, especially thought the concept of, time is money. Martha has one job where she sits idle, and does not need to put much effort into the work. If she was told that she did not have to put as much effort into her work she would most likely be ok with that choice. When given the opportunity she would do less work and still expect to collect the same wages or rewards. Martha has demonstrated a lack of capitalism she thinks credit is money and has multiple credit cards that have interest building up on them. As said previously, having debt is not good, however knowing that you will be able to pay it off makes one feel better. At last the hope of paying it off.
Weber has many views and opinions related to work, economics and living. There is the theory of values, Schwartz’s theory. Schwartz’s theory is organized based on ten types of motivational or interest based goals (Juujarvi, Myyry and Pesso pg 415). One of the
