Group Activity
1. Write about your feelings
At first I was nervous because I wasn’t sure of how personal or specific the questions were going to be. When there were several times I had to cross the line on my own part of me felt more disconnected for everyone and also enforced my feeling of being able to be independent. One of the questions was “since starting the course have you ended a serious relationship”. This question felt a bit invasive for me but I felt that if I didn’t admit to it that it was something to be ashamed of but instead it has made me stronger and well aware of way people manipulate the truth.
2. Write about how you think other people felt?
I think others held back in the exercise, almost felt there were times they wanted to step forward but either thought better not for what ever their personal reason. I think when there were time that someone stood by themselves they don’t want to look like they are taking it so serious and that they thinking “well hey that’s just me”. There was a question ask “if your family have suffered the affects of alcoholism” only one person crossed the line to this question. I think this is brave because I have not gone through this but I could image how hard and how in society people try to keep it hush hush. So for them to step for was interesting they must have become comfortable and probably the problem has been overcome. I don’t think people would admit to that type of question if the situation was still going on.
3. Write about how the exercise helps you understand and accept differences?
I guess I have always known I was different from others particularly with my up bringing but the more my differences become obvious and predominant the more comfortable I become with myself that I am still standing and no matter how different I am and how people perceive that, I will still remain standing.This exercise showed other people have their own difference too. One question asked was “if you have a learning disability?” one person crossed the line to this. I feel proud for the person because I wouldn’t want to have a disability if my career required education qualifications and that they have shown us that they can overcome it. I think because I can sympathies with others it helps me process and accept people’s differences easier and that because I am forth coming with my differences and show there is no problem that others find it easy to accept my differences.
Blog Activity
Professional discretion and judgment may relate to:
• assessing when to keep quiet
• being aware of and responding to different personality types
• knowing when it is appropriate or inappropriate to share information
• knowing with whom information should be shared
1. Add 2 items to the list above
• respecting other social views
• respectful to religious views
2. Give a REAL example from your own experience to illustrate all 6 points
• Assessing when to keep quiet – when there is an argument among two of my friends it does not help the situation if I go to each one and say what the other friend said, instead listen to both sides and keep to myself.
• Being aware of and responding to different personality types – in my soccer team there are many girls all with different personalities. For us to work and play well as one we have to accept things about each other that we might not normally associate with.
• Knowing when it is appropriate or inappropriate to share information - when doing the group activity as above it’s not my business to share the information I learnt about my class mates to others.
• Knowing with whom information should be shared – unless it is the police inquiring about people I know I don’t share personal information to others that might be asking me about people.
• Respecting other social views – my friends have had babies at young age and even though they aren’t very religious they don’t believe in abortion. I even though this ended up the best decision for them because it helped them mature and change their lifestyle if in the same position I wouldn’t have hesitated to have an abortion. Even though we had a difference in opinion I did raise the issue because I felt it was their choice to make and had to accept their view of abortion.
• Respectful to religious views – my very close friend and her family are Muslim and because of that we see relationships between people differently. I have grown up knowing that when you turn a certain age and are in a relationship that it is ok to have sleepovers whereas this is not the case for Muslim families so I had to respect that and find a happy medium.
3. What is the difference between “discretion” and “judgment” in your own words?
Discretion is the choice to act upon what you think is right at a time that is appropriate and judgment is how the person views the situation and makes an assessment of whether it is right or wrong.
4. Why do you use these two things in a professional setting?
(explain by using examples)
As a graphic designer discretion is needed to ensure no one is being insulted and that there is nothing discriminatory in the content and to ensure this people need to have a good moral judgment and know what is wrong and right to all different audiences.
