Reflection on Human Values Essay

That was an interesting look in the mirror. First, lets be clear, I am a work in progress. The challenges and experiences that brought me back to school were also a reflection of my lack of maturity, undiagnosed panic and anxiety disorder, and not feeling that I could be a capable person. Glimpses into happier days provided me impetus to step back and try again. So now I am an adult student, single, and working part time reaching for a goal and keeping a promise. But I would be remiss not to…

What social work values are most central to you? How should they be incorporated into social policies? “The mission of the social work profession is rooted in a set of core values. These core values, embraced by social workers throughout the profession’s history, are the foundation of social work’s unique purpose and perspective. The values include service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity and competence” (NASW Code of Ethics, 2015).…

focuses on dignity in the context of rational normativity in the Kant’s moral philosophy. This means to describe what the human dignity is, we might appeal to the nature of humanity in term of rational being as an end itself in Kant’s practical philosophy, rather than humanity in its technical term. By this, it follows the nature of humanity could be presented only through human rational activity when they ought to act rationally under the demand of normative laws since humanity as a rational…

in the Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf. Though the three creatures Beowulf faces are creations of the imagination, they are presented by the poet in very different ways. The man-eating beast known as Grendel is more of a monstrously misshapen reflection of bi-pedal humans that is spawned from ancient evil, whereas the dragon is a bit more conventional. This conventionality may at first make the dragon episode appear slightly less imaginative as the sections with Grendel, but what at first may seem…

bit disappointed because it did not resonate with me as deeply as I had hoped it would. The writing lacked a linear timeline, jumping around all 37 years of his life, and maintained a stream-of-consciousness style throughout. There was hardly any reflection on the events in Page’s life or his emotional growth. To paraphrase a Goodreads review, I don’t really know Page any better as a person, after reading his book, I just know more things that happened to him. While some inferences can be made…

After completing the Culture Self Reflection exercise through bringing awareness to the social identity categories I coincide with, I found that my overall social identity does not fit with simply one category. For the social identity categories of Race, Sex, and Religion, I fall under the Targeted Social Group by being a biological Asian woman and a Muslim. For the social identity categories of Gender, Sexual Orientation, and Ability/Disability, I fall under the Privileged Social Group by…

legislation that gave legal rights to workers to organize or join labor unions. Thus, HR came in to manage the administrative and compliance aspect of the law. This clerical and enforcement role has persisted with HR ever since: necessary but not value-added. After World…

began them, no one understands who put them there in the first place, and no one can anticipate nor manipulate them. They are simply existent. Social norms are defined as the expectations, or rules of behavior, that develop to reflect and enforce values. Because there is a multitude of cultures in the world, there is a large quantity of norms. Norms are dependent on culture. The mere reality of norms is that they control society without the individual being aware of it. Norms provide a model for…

‘watchfulness’ is able “to offset forms of alienation that accompany addiction” and eventually opens up “the possibility of being together” which Garcia called “the very heart of social commensurability” (182). At this point I would like to raise some reflections: how social commensurability…
