1. Self-presentation is the process of how we try to shape what other people think of us and what we think of ourselves. Social perception is the process by which people come to understand one another. In Matthew 7:3-5 talks about how we can see fault or someone else's sin as if we don't have fault ourselves or sins. Self -presentation and social perception relate to Matthew 7:3-5, because we pass judgment on one another because of actions or deeds, but we tend to forget about our own actions (Matthew 7:3-5, NIV). Accountability is hard for some to except for their own discretions but easy to hold someone else to be accountable for their discretions.

2. Social Presentation is simply the methods by which people dare to other people in order to get their thought and underwriting. People consider others to be genuine guides to outline their own one kind presentation. Social perception (or person perception) is the study of how people form impressions of and make inferences about other people as sovereign personalities. On the remote possibility that we see the outflows of Jesus here, an enormous bit of the all-inclusive community are not themselves as they keep acting, envisioning and establish connections, therefore, they are not real. Jesus required people to be without any other person and research themselves before denouncing others. Thusly, one should make oneself faultless and get comments to make oneself perfect before pointing out the mistakes of others. In the current circumstance, it ends up being difficult to condemn one with their external appearance. Like an old saying we all know, “sweep around your own front door, before sweeping around someone else’s.”

3. Your reply post is most certainly true, that we do not know a person's life behind closed doors or what, if any, addictions a person may have.  You mentioned that you understood social perception to not be the accurate judgment at first, I agree with that also, this brings me back to last week's topic about common sense and intuition.  I usually go with my gut feeling, at my first perception of people and there have been very few of what I see people to be.  For self presentation and social perceptions are the two reasons why I don't care too much for groups, everyone usually always presents themselves in a favorable light.

4. Self-presentation is presenting the person, we would like other to believe we are. (Gilovich, T., Keltner, D., Chen, S., Nisbett, R., 2019). Social perception is the study of forming impressions, opinions, or inferences about other individual or groups from certain observations. In comparison to Matthew 7:3-5 and the text is basically reminding us to ask forgiveness of our own sins. As human we sin everyday either in our thoughts, words or actions and we are all guilty in any or all forms of ourselves. As a human being we all would like to be presented in a favorable light to others while others, immediately have a social perception about us already based on observation of our own actions. In a scenario like this, I always say that honesty goes a long way with me.

5. After reading the Preamble and general principals I realized that they are pretty straight forward and basic. Without reading or knowing them I have to be honest in saying that they aren't much different from how I try to conduct myself throughout my life. I believe that Integrity is of the utmost importance. I believe that doing the right thing when no one is looking is imperative as a man. I'm not always perfect but I try to do my best to be honest and trustworthy. The second principal is do no harm. I try to help people more than I harm. Even as a paramedic I take this approach. It is my responsibility to treat patients to the best of my ability to make them feel better. It is not for me to do harm to them by negligence or lack of medical knowledge. The last one is respect for people's dignity and rights. I truly believe that I should respect people no matter what they believe in or what they do. It is not my job to judge or hurt people. It is my job to worry about my imperfections and seek to make myself a better human being. If I can help a brother or sister then I will but I wont hurt or disrespect others to make myself feel superior to them.

6. The three ways my personal beliefs and morals affect how I would carry out the ethics code are closely related to my spiritual walk as a believer. As a believer, it's clear in the bible that God wants us to hold ourselves to a higher moral standard. In Romans 12:2, it says we should not conform to this world because we are not of this world. Our actions and motives should reflect his calling for us to love ( John 4:19). Which includes being concerned with others' needs spiritual welfare. All while respectful of both believers and nonbelievers' rights and dignity without judgment. Not everyone we encounter will know the love of God but that doesn't mean that we should be any less loving or compassionate. Our integrity should always remain the same or at least do our very best to try. I believe the Preamble of the ethics code does cover most ever situation and my belief system has everything to do with my desire to help others. It's not all about education, techniques or training...it's about the passion to serve others.

7. My personal beliefs and morals mirror many aspects of the ethics code and can help reinforced them. Honesty is a quality I believe in and try my best to practice. In the world of psychology integrity is vital. It does not mean a person is perfect. A person with integrity is also capable of admitting they are wrong and making an real effort to address their error. I am a strong believer in respecting everyone regardless of their gender, race, religion or economic status. This coincides with the ethics code psychologist follow to treat everyone with dignity and respect their privacy. Psychologist handle very sensitive information and must be diligent in keeping it confidential. With my past experience in the medical field this is something I am very familiar with and understand the importance of it. “Psychologists exercise reasonable judgment and take precautions to ensure that their potential biases, the boundaries of their competence, and the limitations of their expertise do not lead to or condone unjust practices” (American Psychological Association, n.d). Being fair and reasonable are qualities I try to practice by making balanced choices while comparing pros and cons. Being just is especially important in establishing trusting relationship.
