The class of Communication Values and Ehics offers more things, for me, aside from the basic lectures for trustworthiness, dignity and credibility. I once first thought that the subject would be a breeze, with boredom blues to experience. However, I turned out to be wrong. Aside from it goes out of the usual “lecture” routine, the subject is indeed enjoyable, as seen in every activity done. I now have a different view towards looking at subjects and jumping to conclusions and assumptions. I thank the subjectfor opening my eyes before its too late.

Winding in my life’s ocean, I became aware that dilemmas, mostly ethical have ruled my life. At first, I thought getting out of it is the only way to solve them. Again, I was wrong. Getting out, or escaping would make you dull, fearful and distrustful. I learned that I should face it, and pick the best possible solution. As I look more, I have seen the errors I’ve done because instead of bringing justice, I would click the escape button and flee. I admit that the escaping turned out to be a help, but it wouldn’t get me through all times. Therefore, it is expected that as I grow more to age, better and more efficient alternatives, processes and solutions should be picked and used. It’s hard for someone who picks the escape section at all times, but I know that it is the only way to learn. I know that I have my fair share of faults and errors, some of them, destroyed people’s trust to me, destroyed my reputation and also my parents. I wish it won’t happen again. However, my efforts turned out to be futile. I just hope sooner or later, I’ll grow, and be responsible enough because I know that the world I’ll enter doesn’t have time for people who are not flexible and irresponsible. Preparation and practiced should be exercised, to destroy all hindrances to growth, and make a difference. Sooner or later, I would be facing rifts that could weaken my stand or blur my ideologies, I must be ready. I know I can’t save myself from that because they are sent to test strengths and versatility, so I need to start from now to be properly equipped. If I don’t start now, I may be doomed of following a dark and sinister road.

In terms of thinking ethically, almost all learned persons stress that the mind should be wise and knowledgeable enough to solve whatever problems he may cross. However, I am asking myself how. Thinking ethically is not achievable overnight. Like preparing for possible and potential problems, it takes a deal of courage and determination. It is because I, for one, am not entirely sure of what I’ll face the moment I tell myself I’m ready for practicing thinking ethically. I know it’s a real necessity, therefore I should do it. Reading literature about the matter would aid me in the process. Journals and books about thinking ethically are things I should read to clear this skull. From these books, I am sure I could draw tips and insights to enhance thinking ethically. If possible, reviewing instances or occurrences where thinking ethically played a part should also be observed, studied, processed and eventually learned to further enhance it. The tip is to study, observe and learn. Another way also would be testing myself if I could really exercise this skill. After reading and research, the only way to test is evaluating myself. It is necessary so that I could really tell myself I have indeed learned. However I also should not feel contented and satisfied all at once. I shouldn’t stop, in analyzing, in observing, and in learning. If it is possible still, I hope I’ll find the determination to re-learn and tell myself I am still lacking and therefore requiring more guidance to continuously think ethically. After all, it doesn’t only stop at me, and the betterments are not only mine to experience, but also for everyone around me, who may enlist my aid sooner or later. This made me realize that learning to think ethically, for the matter, is not at all a process that ends, but is eternal and forever. People, that includes me, will, for all eternity strive to grow in wisdom for the betterment of a society that deserves people whoa re enthusiastic enough in spreading goodwill to all men.
