Week 5 Learning
Summary, March 30 – April 5, 2014 – Dr. Paul Rux
As we complete our fifth of eight weeks of online study
together, what is striking is how very well you are able to relate the subject
matter of our course to your own situations.
You have engaged in some very powerful sharing about personal ethical
challenges, professional ethical challenges, and family ethical
challenges. You, in short, are going
beyond “theory” (course information) into “practice” (practical application of
theory to real life issues, challenges).
First, thank you for having the courage
to engage in such highly personal sharing.
It is evidence of the ethical trust among members of our course to have
confidence that such highly personal sharing will not provide opportunities for
unethical use of such highly personal information, professional and
family. It is proof of the high ethical
standards that members of our course have.
Of course, understandably, what is shared in our course “stays in our
course.” It is the ethical course of action. In the process of applying theory to
practice, you are also bringing down our academic discussion from “20,000 feet”
for real-world application. In other
words, you are not “casual” about learning.
On the contrary, you are serious, professional, and a credit to those
who have helped you to reach such ethical maturity and strength. I admire you for it!
