We are a profession in our own, exactly what is meant by this statement? Our organization alone speaks for itself by the level of gratitude and respect received daily from others: our family, peers, and communities. We are our own family, full off comradery and loyalty, enough to give to any new basic trainee or welcome any new sister or brother in what I call a big fraternity. Not only do we share similar experiences but we all look alike…I mean dress alike. We have uniformity which allows either family member to judge upon the other because our outfits and shoes are similar, therefore we have no room to speak past others. Can our profession advance further in leadership roles? Remembering to teach and educate our fellow Soldiers, and also remain ethically professional. How can we advance as leaders? We, as leaders set the tone as to what right was like and why we need to develop effective systems to shape our family back to the garrison side and reform from the battlefield mindset of operations. I think our first step to moving in the right track is to identify our why, why did you become and NCO? Why did you join the family of forces? We sometimes drift away from this when put in uncomfortable situations, we can become un-resilient at when challenged with unfamiliar situations. …show more content…
I fell short of owning my expectations and reflecting what a great leader appears to be, besides blaming other leaders for not providing that mentorship and guidance throughout my career. This was just an excuse to put blame on others when all alone I should’ve dug deeper and helped those leaders in a more effective way to point them in the right direction and learn from their mistakes. Are all leaders teachable and coachable after being in for many years and outranking you? No, but you must do your part to help shape the brother and sisterhood back to it’s
The NASW Code of Ethics is the guideline for social workers in regards to professional conduct and practice. The Code of Ethics is divided into four parts: “The Preamble,” “Purpose of the NASW Code of Ethics,” “Ethical Principles,” and “Ethical Standards.” These sections educate social workers on what their mission is, and how they complete that mission with true morality. Within the Code, there are six values presented which are also used in regards to helping and practicing with clients honorably. These six values are: service, social justice, dignity and worth, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. These six values are the principles that drive social work practice, and are used by social workers everyday.
The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct is knew for providing guideline to early childhood providers in moral and ethical sense. Early childhood educators need the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct to protect children and their families’ rights. The Code of Ethical Conduct allows to every child regardless of his/her religion, native language, and development differences. In Section 1: Ethical Responsibilities to Children is intensive time for young children. Early childhood education left lasting effect on children growth and development.
The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct was developed to uphold the application of core values, ideals, and principles to assist teachers’ decision-making about ethical issues. The Core Values of the NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct is based on the foundation of the field's commitment to young children. It is noteworthy that all seven of the Code's Core Values directly address our commitment to children:
Military social workers are faced with unique challenges, as they have to not only follow the NASW Code of Ethics, but also the mission of the military. A social worker faced with this scenario has an ethical dilemma, as it involves the ethical issues of self-determination, as well as privacy-confidentiality. According to the NASW Code of Ethics, social workers encourage clients’ self-determination and help improve clients’ abilities and opportunity to change and to address their own needs (2008). The social worker in the scenario is faced with another dilemma, if they report the drug use will this cause harm to the client.
The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct and Statement of Commitment is a guideline designed to help Early Childhood educators and other professionals who work in infant/toddler programs, preschools, child care centers, family child care homes, kindergarten, and primary classrooms in issues that involve young children and their families.
One can appreciate the level of confidentiality that the law affords individuals who seek help for addiction. Indeed, one should be free to accept therapy or rehabilitation without fear of repercussions. Surely one can appreciate the delicate situation that clients may find themselves in if their employer or school learned of their struggle with addiction. While we, as counselors, appreciate the bravery and fortitude it takes to ask for help with dependency, discrimination still exists. Therefore, the Code of Federal Regulations, (CFR) in addition to the NAADAC code of ethics, provide a useful framework not only for client's but counselors as well. Additionally, whether or not the rehabilitation program is state funded (nonprofit), or private (for profit) also determines the confidentiality regulations,
In order for Steve to make an ethical decisions he has to consider his values and principles. One of the major values Steve must consider is his value of respect for life. Due to the fact that Debra is pregnant, Steve is actually treating two patients and two lives. While making the decision as to whether or not to send Debra to the perinatologist, Steve must think about if he doesn’t how it will affect both Debra and the baby. Steve must also consider the double effect as one of the principles. The double effect states, “sometimes it is permissible to cause a harm as a side effect of bringing about a good result” (McIntyre, 2004). In Steve's case with Debra, this could work either way. Steve could either refer Debra to the perinatologist
The main points of provision five of the ANA code of ethics are as follows: section 5.1, which is moral self-respect, suggests that nurses must care for themselves as much as they care for their patients. Nurses must do their best to maintain professional respect to themselves in regards of their competence and moral character.

Nurses must continue to learn current, up to date nursing practices through self, peer, and higher education.

In 1996, former President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PWORA), which brought reform to the welfare system. Under this act, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) was replaced with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The enactment of this new program brought about several changes, including transferring the responsibility of welfare from the federal level to the state level, disentitlement to public assistance, and the implementation of work requirements to receive aid (Karger and Stoesz, 2014, p. 228). As social workers, it is important to understand this act and how it fits into our professional goals. While TANF does reflect many of the standards put in place by the National
Although social workers are expected to advocate for their clients, many social activities revolve around individual advocacy. Advocacy is the cornerstone on which social work is built. It is very important that it is framed in three sections of the NASW (2008) (pg. 61) Code of Ethics. Advocacy for those individuals, communities, and systems is not just a proposed activity for social workers it is a requisite.
As an early childhood educator it may sometimes be difficult to teach families in the place or situation that they are currently facing. Especially if they are unwilling to start a relationship or work on developing one with their child’s teacher. Therefore, I believe that it is vital for educators to encourage and strengthen relationships with the families through trust and learning more about their cultural beliefs and child-rearing standpoint. When this foundation of trust and understanding is established, then teachers will be much more successful in both meeting the needs of their families and the NAEYC ethical ideals. The NAEYC code of ethics are a set of ideals that help to engage families and understand
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) has published a set of core values and ethical guidelines for all social workers. The Code of Ethics contains six core values to which social workers need to practice (NASW, 2008). The social worker must abide by the values and ethics set forth by the NASW at all times.
The North Carolina Code of Ethics can be described as a constitution for fellow educators. The purpose of the North Carolina Code of Ethics is to guarantee a secure, honest, and professional environment for both students and teachers. As the Code of Ethics states, “The educator strives to maintain the respect and confidence of colleagues, students, parents and legal guardians, and the community, and to serve as an appropriate role model”.
The National Association Of Social Work has a long history in the United States. A code of ethics was developed by a delegate of social workers for social workers to live by. The delegate has revised the code many times since its development in 1960. The NASW Delegate Assembly first agreed on the Code of Ethics on October 30, 1960. The document embodied the duties of the social work profession and the responsibilities of each social worker. American values have changed many times. As a democratic nation, we advocate for humanitarian ideals and the equal treatment of our citizens. “Social work is based on humanitarian, democratic ideals.” According to the original 1960 code of ethics, “professional social workers are dedicated to the service for the welfare of mankind; to the disciplined use of a recognized body of knowledge about human beings and their interactions, and to the marshaling of community resources to promote well-being without discrimination.” This is a long quote but, I believe it perfectly encompasses what it means to live in a fair and democratic nation. Although America still had many civil rights issues at the time, a system such as this could not develop in a communist or dictatorship nation.
The growth of an individual to become a culturally competent social worker draws significant influence from the code of ethics and standards. Ethics is of great essence to all professions, but it is particularly crucial to professions that are related to human and health services. The NASW Code of Ethics significantly alters the way social work students view things to develop and become competent social workers. The existence of the code of ethics and standards is essential as they act as a reference point when social workers are faced with morally, ambiguous issues.
