moral disengagement. This process starts with a fundamental understanding of our personal values.

Terminal values are the ‘end result’ values that indicate what you want your life to ultimately be about when your time on earth is over. These indicate a desired end-state. Instrumental values are what we traditionally discuss in relation to moral and ethical behavior. Instrumental values moderate our daily behavior, based on associated consequences. Acting on our instrumental values leads to achievement of terminal values. In preparation for a discussion about our personal values, please complete the Rokeach Value Survey.

Below is the Rokeach Value Survey [DOC file size 13.2 KB], which lists 18 terminal values and 18 instrumental values. In preparation for this discussion:

Rank (prioritize) the terminal values most important to you from “1” to the least important at “18”.
Rank (prioritize) the instrumental values most important to you from “1” to the least important at “18”.
Identify your top five guiding values (terminal and instrumental)

In Module 1, we investigated the ethics theories that create the foundation for our discussions in these first two modules. In addition, we explored our personal values and the impact these can have on conflicts and decision making. Ethical dilemmas require a mindful approach to reasoning. As discussed by Lampe and Engleman-Lampe (2012), “ethical intention manifests into ethical action through mindfully living each moment.” (p. 101).

To prepare for your discussion, please study the following article for a full understanding of mindfulness.

Lampe, M., & Engleman-Lampe, C. (2012). Mindfulness-based business ethics education. Academy of Educational Leadership Journal, 16(3), 99-111.

Considering the concept of mindfulness from the article, ethics theories from Chapters 3 through 6 of our text, and your results from the Rokeach Value Survey, address the following in your discussion:

How do your personal values interact with a mindful approach to ethical decision making?
In light of your personal values, which ethics theory best fits your personal view of ethical decision making? Why?
Evaluate how this information increases your understanding of your approach to ethical decision making and the impact this has on you when you’re faced with an ethical dilemma.

The essence of presentation is making yourself known, along with your ideas. There are at least two reasons to begin the planning of any presentation with a consideration of yourself. The first is that your knowledge of yourself and what you are thinking about provides a solid foundation for elaborating on your ideas and your topics. The second is that your constant self-assessment means that you can define and communicate your own feelings and beliefs about a topic from a deeper level of metacognition, or self-knowledge, and can therefore think more critically and objectively about your topic.

Before building a presentation, consider the types of things that you have done and the types of things that are important to you. These things will be woven into every presentation you give, whether formal or informal, large or small, and regardless of the topic. Here, you will think about yourself as a primary topic and reflect upon your own academic and professional goals. This approach to preparation will influence the ways in which you present in the future.

Part A

In paragraph form, answer the following questions that may affect how you think about presentations, your topics, and your audience:

What is your “story”? How would you summarize your life’s experiences?
How have those experiences, overall, shaped you as a professional? How have they shaped you as a university student?
What have you learned from your previous experiences in making formal or informal presentations to others?

Part B

For this part of the assignment, you will be preparing or updating your resume. Upon reflection of your answers in Part A, rethink your resume, and update it as appropriate to incorporate your experiences and goals. In addition, review your resume format. If you already have a template for your resume that works, that’s great.

Please submit your assignment as a single Word document, with your Part-A responses preceding your resume from Part B.
