REFLECTIONS IN ETHICS:
SEEING YOURSELF IN OTHERS
[A LECTURE SERIES***]
By Aaron Givan, Ph.D. (2005.)
This is a lecture series that rehearses a different ethical principle
in each presenation hung on a common template. The template uses the same text sequence
in each lecture for consistency but provides a different ethical principle and three ethical
problems for each lecture or presentation.
The series is designed to allow the reader to reflect on a specific ethical principle, one at a
time, using a similar outline without changing the context of the thought sequences too
much. When a person is asked a reflective question--if you will watch the eye movements--
that he or she has to stop and think about, the eyes will shift in a consistent direction; the
person is accessing a habitual way of thinking that draws upon inner resources. (Givan,
1989; 1989; 1989,990)
Each lecture asks you to use this reflective process as part of an experience in building your
personal set of ethical processing tools/guidelines that will aid you in posing and acting on
interventions in ethical problem situations.
_____________________________________________________________
Template Structure:
The template/text for each lecture/presentation has the following sections:
1. Ancient heuristics through quotes form the past and definitions--general and topical.
2. The dynamics of the practices of ethics at the individual, group and global levels in terms
of internal cultural ethos and social connectedness. Such connectedness to one another
provides the contexts for doing business.
3. The benefits of applying ethics in doing business.
4. Some specific ethical problems from the individual, group and global levels. Ethics links
for continuing research are added.
5. Sound clips at each of the above 4 sub-section levels that include summaries and
questions recycle and add to the written text available online and rehearse Bloom's
progressive cognitive categories.
Items 1-5 will add an integrative process to the case study approach often used in
considering ethical problems. Subjective and objective data will be synthesized at the
personal level.
The Twelve Lectures:
The titles and associated lecture are as follows:
1. "Doing Good"--Beneficience
2. "To Tell the Truth"--Veracity
3. "Risk Management"--Justice
4. "Keeping Contracts"--Fidelity
5. "Community Pay Back"--Gratitude
6. "For the People"--Utility
7. "Harmfulness"--Non-Maleficence
8. "Responsible Business"--Reparations
9. "The One and The Many"--Autonomy
10. "Shared Rules"--Publicity
11. "Globalization"--Generality
12. "For the Good of All"--Universality.

APPROACHES TO LEARNING
Aaron Givan, Ph.D.
(Copyright. 2002. Aaron Givan.)
Personal Journey
For me, learning is a lifelong journey that connects one’s inner sense of personality
structures and preferred behaviors that give expression to that structure with varied
approaches to learning. I think one best starts from an inner awareness of connectedness to
the cosmos and then follows the journey to places those awarenesses can lead.
This journey, in my life, has led to an emphasis on choices that are presented in a non-
directed manner so that each person can choose to give expression in class room work to
what he/she loves to do. The syllabus provides a framework within which the process of
learning can move creatively. The group in the class room becomes the
functional teaching mechanism for the goals and learning outcome objectives for the
learner; I am at once a guide, facilitator, mentor, coach and listener, and mutual learner, as
well as instructor. The group members provide support for one another and share
viewpoints and experiences appropriate to the learning tasks of the day.
Learning Approaches
Approaches to learning can vary with the specific context and events in a particular setting.
Some approaches that can work together include the following perspectives:
1. Culturally relevant experiential learning: the facts/content of old and new knowledge are
applied in daily settings using relevant teaching/learning strategies and techniques;
theories and principles of learning are connected within social and cultural contexts that
show the benefit of relationships among participants (the collective) and the beauty of
wisdom within the self (the individual).
2. Human information processing: the changes in processing learning within human
environments moves around the process of naming learnings (content and process) and
allowing the total context of knowledge to grow at small and extended levels so new
artifacts (products and services) result.
3. Structure and behaviors: a person’s individual preferences on how to learn best provide
the foundations/structural model in which each one of us can practice learning behaviors
that increase knowledge and wisdom and provide meaningful activities through a life time.
Learning models can identify starting points for problem solving; for example,
A. Experimenting to find answers (1),
B. Reflecting on ideas (2),
C. Working step-by-step (3),
D. Judging value/importance (4).
Such a model might use 4 “P’s” for describing learning as a recycling process that builds
upon itself: passionate (1), Poised (2), Patient (3), and Pragmatic (4).

---------------------------------
Philosophy of Education ONLINE Applications
Aaron Givan, Ph.D. [5/10/2004]
1. Pedagogical Considerations Unique to Online Education:
Within the "Approaches to Learning" philosophy of education statement posted above are
several facets unique to an ONLINE environment:
Personal choices: I encourage personal choices within the required assignments so that
learning style preferences can surface and foster individual expression and creative
thinking skills. The online environment enhances the ability of learners to make such
choices and share the results with others at the same time; therefore, the experiences of the
group mature over time within the class term.
Graduated assignments: The discussion follows a routine, four-part developmental
approach to considering topics germane to each week’s study topic; this model is expanded
with the weekly project process which is completed in sequential steps similar to that of a
professional journal article. These two processes are interlocked and promote each other
over the life of the term successfully due, largely, to the immediate feedback available
through the technology used.
2. Course Tools: Within any electronic platform there is available a variety of tools, for
example,threaded discussion options that include immediate response capabilities, that can
enable a lively discussion on a topic; these discussions can be recycled each week to aid in
knowledge development. This encourages complex knowledge building.
3. Assessment: Specific content and length of assignments as related to class goal/core
learning outcomes are defined within each week’s context and performance rubrics are
used to score student postings—see syllabus for points breakdown and the weekly
discussion for rubric/specific learning activity relationships.
4. Instructor Comments and Feedback: I post questions and comments within the threaded
discussions on a regular basis; the emphasis is on allowing individual, internal student style
preferences to find a means and forum for immediate, practical applications within the
contexts of the assignments being done—for example, 1. Experimenting to find answers, 2.
Reflecting on ideas, 3. Working step-by-step, and 4. Judging value/importance.
The problem solving modes (1-4 above) are aligned with specific learning styles; weekly
experiences within these style constructs provide a structure/a track to run on while doing
work assigned for the term. The emotional and social dynamics that take place within the
structural elements (1-4 above) include expressions than can be 1. Passionate, 2. Poised, 3.
Patient, and 4. Pragmatic. These four dynamics are also similarly aligned with the learning
styles accessed by the problem solving modes (1-4) listed above. The development/growth of
the whole person is fostered using these processes.

  • 12. This is a lecture series that rehearses a different ethical principle in each presenation hung on a common template. The template uses the same text sequence in each lecture for consistency but provides a different ethical principle and three ethical problems for each lecture or presentation. The series is designed to allow the reader to reflect on a specific ethical principle, one at a time, using a similar outline without changing the context of the thought sequences too much. When a person is asked a reflective question--if you will watch the eye movements-- that he or she has to stop and think about, the eyes will shift in a consistent direction; the person is accessing a habitual way of thinking that draws upon inner resources. (Givan, 1989; 1989; 1989,990) Each lecture asks you to use this reflective process as part of an experience in building your personal set of ethical processing tools/guidelines that will aid you in posing and acting on interventions in ethical problem situations. _____________________________________________________________ Template Structure: The template/text for each lecture/presentation has the following sections: 1. Ancient heuristics through quotes form the past and definitions--general and topical. 2. The dynamics of the practices of ethics at the individual, group and global levels in terms of internal cultural ethos and social connectedness. Such connectedness to one another provides the contexts for doing business. 3. The benefits of applying ethics in doing business. 4. Some specific ethical problems from the individual, group and global levels. Ethics links for continuing research are added. 5. Sound clips at each of the above 4 sub-section levels that include summaries and questions recycle and add to the written text available online and rehearse Bloom's progressive cognitive categories. Items 1-5 will add an integrative process to the case study approach often used in considering ethical problems. Subjective and objective data will be synthesized at the personal level. The Twelve Lectures: The titles and associated lecture are as follows:
  • 13. 1. "Doing Good"--Beneficience 2. "To Tell the Truth"--Veracity 3. "Risk Management"--Justice 4. "Keeping Contracts"--Fidelity 5. "Community Pay Back"--Gratitude 6. "For the People"--Utility 7. "Harmfulness"--Non-Maleficence 8. "Responsible Business"--Reparations 9. "The One and The Many"--Autonomy 10. "Shared Rules"--Publicity 11.

Aaron Givan.) Personal Journey For me, learning is a lifelong journey that connects one’s inner sense of personality structures and preferred behaviors that give expression to that structure with varied approaches to learning. I think one best starts from an inner awareness of connectedness to the cosmos and then follows the journey to places those awarenesses can lead. This journey, in my life, has led to an emphasis on choices that are presented in a non- directed manner so that each person can choose to give expression in class room work to what he/she loves to do. The syllabus provides a framework within which the process of learning can move creatively. The group in the class room becomes the functional teaching mechanism for the goals and learning outcome objectives for the learner; I am at once a guide, facilitator, mentor, coach and listener, and mutual learner, as well as instructor. The group members provide support for one another and share viewpoints and experiences appropriate to the learning tasks of the day. Learning Approaches Approaches to learning can vary with the specific context and events in a particular setting. Some approaches that can work together include the following perspectives: 1. Culturally relevant experiential learning: the facts/content of old and new knowledge are applied in daily settings using relevant teaching/learning strategies and techniques; theories and principles of learning are connected within social and cultural contexts that show the benefit of relationships among participants (the collective) and the beauty of wisdom within the self (the individual). 2. Human information processing: the changes in processing learning within human environments moves around the process of naming learnings (content and process) and allowing the total context of knowledge to grow at small and extended levels so new artifacts (products and services) result. 3. Structure and behaviors: a person’s individual preferences on how to learn best provide
  • 15. the foundations/structural model in which each one of us can practice learning behaviors that increase knowledge and wisdom and provide meaningful activities through a life time. Learning models can identify starting points for problem solving; for example, A. Experimenting to find answers (1), B. Reflecting on ideas (2), C. Working step-by-step (3), D. Judging value/importance (4). Such a model might use 4 “P’s” for describing learning as a recycling process that builds upon itself: passionate (1), Poised (2), Patient (3), and Pragmatic (4). [11/2002] --------------------------------- Philosophy of Education ONLINE Applications Aaron Givan, Ph.D. [5/10/2004] 1. Pedagogical Considerations Unique to Online Education: Within the "Approaches to Learning" philosophy of education statement posted above are several facets unique to an ONLINE environment: Personal choices: I encourage personal choices within the required assignments so that learning style preferences can surface and foster individual expression and creative thinking skills. The online environment enhances the ability of learners to make such choices and share the results with others at the same time; therefore, the experiences of the group mature over time within the class term. Graduated assignments: The discussion follows a routine, four-part developmental approach to considering topics germane to each week’s study topic; this model is expanded with the weekly project process which is completed in sequential steps similar to that of a professional journal article. These two processes are interlocked and promote each other over the life of the term successfully due, largely, to the immediate feedback available through the technology used. 2. Course Tools: Within any electronic platform there is available a variety of tools, for example,threaded discussion options that include immediate response capabilities, that can
  • 16. enable a lively discussion on a topic; these discussions can be recycled each week to aid in knowledge development. This encourages complex knowledge building. 3. Assessment: Specific content and length of assignments as related to class goal/core learning outcomes are defined within each week’s context and performance rubrics are used to score student postings—see syllabus for points breakdown and the weekly discussion for rubric/specific learning activity relationships. 4. Instructor Comments and Feedback: I post questions and comments within the threaded discussions on a regular basis; the emphasis is on allowing individual, internal student style preferences to find a means and forum for immediate, practical applications within the contexts of the assignments being done—for example, 1. Experimenting to find answers, 2. Reflecting on ideas, 3. Working step-by-step, and 4. Judging value/importance. The problem solving modes (1-4 above) are aligned with specific learning styles; weekly experiences within these style constructs provide a structure/a track to run on while doing work assigned for the term. The emotional and social dynamics that take place within the structural elements (1-4 above) include expressions than can be 1. Passionate, 2. Poised, 3. Patient, and 4. Pragmatic. These four dynamics are also similarly aligned with the learning styles accessed by the problem solving modes (1-4) listed above. The development/growth of the whole person is fostered using these processes. ------------------------------------------------------ RESOURCE REFERENCES Aaron Givan, Ph.D. [5/13/2004] MY PUBLICATIONS: Root Research Resources with emphasis on transdisciplinary, wide contextual knowledge base for Community Resource Inventory.
