Learning is enhanced when you take time to reflect on the process. This week, you will have a journal that asks you to discuss your thoughts in relation to the topic for the unit. Your reflection and writing will help with your understanding of the content covered.

Your response to this journal should be clear, concise, and organized. The expression of information must be well written and original, with few or no errors in format and mechanics.

Begin by taking the “Self-Assessment: An Inventory of Your Attitudes and Beliefs About Ethical and Professional Issues” in Chapter 1 of your textbook. This assessment will help you explore your thinking about a wide range of ethical issues that will be addressed in this class. Once you are finished with your assessment, please discuss your results.

Please respond to the following questions:

• Identify and discuss the items that you felt most strongly about when completing the inventory.
• Name two areas of ethics you feel the most knowledgeable.
• Discuss any ethical issues that you found surprising or that you would like to learn about further.
• How can learning about ethics help you become a more professional human service professional?
