Part of becoming a professional social worker is reflecting on how your personal values and professional ethics will play a role in your practice. This assignment will give you an opportunity to define some key terms, consider potential ethical challenges in your present or future practice, and place your discussion in a scholarly context.
One way to do this is through the use of infographics. In your studies, you examined “Digital Literacy: Learning Through Infographics,” by Danielle Davis. For this assignment, you will prepare an infographic or concept map addressing the difference between your personal and professional values and examining how personal values can create bias. In addition, you will create a one-page written document or three-minute audio/video explanation of your infographic.
