Write as an University Student…

Description

Write as a University Student…

Part I
Recall a time in a co-op placement, a summer job, an internship, a student club, a student team project, etc. when your values conflicted with what you were expected to do in a particular, nontrivial decision, and you spoke up and acted to resolve the conflict.
Consider the following and write down your thoughts:
What did you do, and what was the impact?
Identify the values that conflicted with what you were expected to do.
What motivated you to speak up and act?
How satisfied are you? How would you like to have responded? (This question is not about rejecting or defending past actions but rather about imagining your Ideal Scenario.)
What would have made it even easier for you to speak/act?
Things within your own control
Things within the control of others
Part 2
Recall a time in a co-op placement, a summer job, an internship, a student club, a student team project, etc. when your values conflicted with what you were expected to do in a particular, nontrivial decision, and you did not speak up or act to resolve the conflict.
Consider the following and write down your thoughts:
What happened, and what was the impact?
Identify the values that conflicted with what you were expected to do.
Why didn’t you speak up or act? What, if any, rationalizations did you use?
How satisfied are you? How would you like to have responded? (This question is not about rejecting or defending past actions but rather about imagining your Ideal Scenario.)
What would have made it easier for you to speak/act?
Things within your own control
Things within the control of others
Compare how you responded to these two situations to draw a conclusion about when you tend to act on your values, and what is necessary for you to do so.
