Ethics Refers to the Standards of What People Should and Should Not Do
Ethics refers to the standards of what people should and should not do. Organizations establish ethics to cultivate a harmonious and thriving environment. Thus, it is essential to fully understand what ethics is and what are the ethical considerations in particular places or settings. Through the course MGMT 5050, I gained critical concepts about various topics such as cultural humility, sustainable development goals, ethical decision-making, and many more. In addition, I also acquired life-long lessons and skills such as giving voice to values, reflecting, and building an argument that will aid me in my academic journey and future life experiences. Additionally, the course allowed me to advance and improve in self-reflecting and giving and receiving feedback. I like the design of this course since it has assisted me in becoming a self-regulated learner. I can gain ownership and authority over my learning process. It means I can control how much learning I obtain daily, how many hours I study, and which learning style is best for me (Linden 2018). The feedback provided on the learner’s performances best exemplifies this situation. In my case, the tutor’s feedback on previous assessments revealed that the tasks were poorly completed and could be improved. The first assessment is crafting an organizational memo, which aims to provide suggestions on the areas where a company falls. In this assessment, the tutor stated that I understand the concepts of ethics, system thinking, and SDGs. Still, they must be expanded and deepened by incorporating the concepts of system thinking, economic theory, and SDGs, as well as assessing and mitigating risks. Meanwhile, the second assessment is crafting a case study report that uses the seven steps of ethical decision. The tutor commented on my submitted task and clarified that it was not a case study because I did not follow the seven steps, and appeared more like a literature review. Thus, at this point, there is no improvement. Fortunately, the tutor’s feedback helped me understand the meaning of ethics, system thinking, SDGs, and the seven steps of ethical decision-making. When I reencounter these problems, I can use an analysis tool, ethical framework, economic theory, risk assessment, and risk mitigation to solve or analyze them better. As a result of the tutor’s feedback, I realized that my ability to analyze problems and incorporate critical concepts is poor and needs improvement. The lessons and topics in the course are interwoven to build an essential concept, and each week is rich in content. As for me, the lessons from the first and eighth weeks have positively influenced me. The first week emphasized the importance of ethics and its incorporation into education and the workplace. The newspaper article, Human rights climb the business school curriculum, emphasizes that business schools must integrate ethics (Jack 2021). On the other hand, in the video, The business benefits of doing good, the speaker emphasizes that if a company makes ethical solutions and decisions, it would largely contribute to its and society’s success (TED 2018). The eighth week of...
