Weekly Reflection - Week 2

I found that last week was very good and very informative. Some things that were discussed were new to me and some things I already had heard of, but I'm not going to say that everything relates to my daily life. I did find it all interesting, We can read and read about things and not really fully understand it until you have either taken part in it or you did some extra research on it. My paper on the purpose of AICPA code of professional conduct had good feedback from our instructor. I just hope that everyone follow all rules and regulations that are in place for us.

A person with this characteristic knows the difference from right and wrong and will choose to do what is right. This is something that is used on a daily basis.

This helps a person to know is important and what to strive for in life. These characteristics will deem a person trustworthy, which is very important to employers and clients. It is very important to make people feel comfortable. Being able to read and discuss these things further gave me a deeper understanding.

My favorite topic discussed in week one was integrity. I have valued integrity even before I knew what the term meant. I often place value on people based on whether or not they have integrity. When at work (I work at an asphalt company in South Houston, TX) I see many people without the quality of integrity and it drives me insane. It had/has even gotten to the point where I really wish to change my job location. Integrity is important all day, every day, everywhere and not just in the accounting field. Topics also very important which apply in all fields of work and not just the accounting field include: Ethics,
