Throughout lecture this year, we talked about many different ethical values that correlates to everyday reasoning. In my belief statement, I could narrow down what was important to me morally and how I conduct myself socially.

My approach on life has a deontologist approach as I feel it is my duty to do what is necessary to up keep my values. As lectures progress, I have more of an understanding of how each value through religious influence, human biology/ nature vs nurture and profession ethics impacts my belief. Each of these values contributed to how I view the world and what I want to do in the future to make a difference.
