Navigate to the threaded discussion below citing the workshop resources (please respond to the following prompts (at least one paragraph each):
How did you learn or develop your morals? What or who was influential in developing those morals?
Everyone learns from and relies upon sources of authority to guide their moral thinking and decision making (friends, religion, family, code of ethics, political ideology, etc.) whether they are conscious of it or not. What primary source or sources of authority do you look when making moral or ethical decisions? How do you seek to evaluate and apply these ideas to your moral decision-making?
What do you think about teaching people moral reasoning? If you were to teach or assist in developing moral reasoning in your current setting (work if employed, if not employed think of settings such as your family, church or other groups in which you belong) how would you approach this?
How can social workers ethically work with clients in their moral decision making? How can social workers assist clients to do this well while managing the influence of their own potential bias, power, privilege, and values in working with clients and constituencies with different values or experiences? Identify values and standards from the code of ethics to support your response.
