The Ethics Awareness Inventory (EIA) is a study that asks many questions with a self-scoring on each answer that is answered which will help the individual inventory and evaluate one’s own ethical style, since many people have different views of what their own perspective are when it comes to choosing what is right and wrong. There are four categories in the Ethics Awareness Inventory that defines the type of individual one is based on one’s own ethics styles which are character, obligation, results, and equity. Moreover, the different styles will be discussed throughout this paper and it will help the reader on how each style can convey to the criminal justice field and being a part of a team. My results closely aligned with Obligation and I am least aligned with equity. However, obligation to me is a force that helps me drive to do what is morally correct by being committed, respectful, consistent, and dependable with those around me. For example, if one takes the four categories which are character, obligation, results, and equity and if each person on this team falls into those different categories I think we can all have a different perspective and can relate to the criminal justice field on how we can relate with each other and work together as a team. Obligation helps treat people with respect or by following the Golden Rule as treating people how you would like people to treat you. When adding the component of the Golden Rule we are responsible on the choices we make when it comes to awareness in our own ethical style and behavior. Moreover, the overall picture of how to work with people with different styles can help us understand one another by not over stepping on the boundaries of the other person’s belief. People with different styles have different view on how to approach situations, when making decisions that are difficult, or what our aspects are and what is important to each one of us.
