Reflection My Family Values - 866 Words

With the help of the competency workshop, I was able to identify five values – being trust worthy, happiness, relations, respect, and justice – as being the most important to me. During this workshop, I came to the realisation that my values have changed significantly from the commencement of my university life to present. This realization was aided with the help of questions 5, 9, and 3, from the workshop. Values corresponding to question 9 were acknowledgement, social status, and success; these were the values my family held in high regards.

Relations is also very important to me, and this is further proven through the career anchors from Schein in which I scored the highest for Lifestyle. I believe the values of being trust worthy and relations are intertwined for me because the people that are the most trust worthy to me are my family and close friends.

Growing up and becoming more aware of what is happening in the world (civil war, politics, etc.) has led me to place a high value on justice and respect. I am a Christian, and I believe that people should be considerate of one another, and not intentionally hurt each other. This is a hard task to practice in reality, but it is made easier if there is respect. But of the disagreements happenin g in this world is due to the lack of respect. Respect forces one to take the high road and not hurt you just because your opinions are different from theirs. Without respect their will be no understanding or tolerance. I believe all my long-lasting relationships are mainly due to respect.
