This
class was very insightful, enjoyable, and pertinent to our careers; I believe
most of my peers would agree with me. No
matter what field we are in, we all will be faced with ethical dilemmas. I really appreciate that Dr. Spencer geared
our Code of Ethics & Interview assignment towards our individual
prospective career field. Personally, I
tend to put an extra effort into assignments that directly relate to my realm. I enjoyed the interview assignment the most.
In my opinion, one of the best ways
to learn about a job/career is to converse with someone who has experience in
the desired profession. I want to go
into sport event management; I was able to gain insight on potential ethical
dilemmas in this line of work. Sports
are unique because it’s unpredictable; that’s why I love them. You need a strong code of ethics, personal or
organizational, to serve as a foundation for your decision making. Rather it’s deciding on whether or not to
allow an on field gay marriage proposal or stripping Little League kids of
their championship title, one must be prepared to make unexpected ethical
decisions.
I enjoyed the format of the
class. I like to hear people’s opinions on
relative topics. Whether I agree or not,
I enjoy a healthy discussion. As a
class, we had good class and blog discussions.
The cycling of current events into class discussion really added to the
enjoyment and flow of the class. One
lesson I’ll take away is, you’re not always going to make the right decision; we
are all human. It’s incumbent upon us to
learn from our and others’ mistakes.
Educating ourselves about situations, decisions, ethics, etc. will
enable us to better our decision making. There is something to be learned from
every situation in every sport field.
