The Professional, ethical, and the social responsibility assisted me in my research by providing more information concerning how charities and other organizations must be managed toward assisting others.

· Write down at least one specific aspect regarding Professional, Ethical, and Social Responsibility that you need to still develop and describe how you could work on developing that aspect.

About my profession, it is necessary to behave professionally, consider ethical values, and be socially responsible to help in building a system of ethics. However, the main area where I have I have faced a challenge is the decision making as well as actions. Sometimes I do consider my actions to be ethically validated without knowing the harm it might cause to other people. Therefore, I am looking to make sure that the decisions made are ethically validated before going on with my research work (Ni & Montgomery, 2015). I would do this through incorporating ethical validation into the daily activities especially those which are influencing the people or the surrounding where I am performing my research work.

· How does Professional, Ethical, and Social Responsibility connect to achieving your career goals?

My career goal has always been to assists other people through creating a free and conducive environment that involves sharing of the ideas regardless of the professional background. To achieve this goal, it is always important to be aware of what is right and wrong in deciding what is best for each person. The professional, ethics and the social responsibility, therefore, will help in knowing whether the decision made, or the actions taken are legal or illegal; whether it is violating the professional standards; and evaluating how it is affecting the targeted individuals either positively or negatively (Tai & Shu-Hao, 2014).

· Based on your work in the course as well as general education courses at Grantham University, explain what Professional, Ethical, and Social Responsibility means to you

The meaning of the professional, ethical, and social according to me is that it is a system of ethics being acquired as each of us is learning in their specific field of study. This system of ethics binds professionals to carry out professional duties in an honest and fair manner.

· Describe a specific assignment, presentation, or project you worked on in one of your past courses at Grantham University that allowed you to develop your Professional, Ethical, and Social Responsibility?

One of the projects I worked on is the helping in the sanitization project within the minority groups. Dealing with this group requires an understanding of the culture so that this process can be fruitful. Failure to understand the culture of this group means being culturally incompetent and this leads to an unethical decision and unprofessional behavior. For example, the unprofessional behavior can include being arrogant to the people when they resist the activities of the project due to lack of understanding in the meaning of this activity.
