In the activities of this last study unit you have been asked to remember and analyse some of your own decisions in the past. You were also asked to consider your learning journey through this module.

Consider the following:

What influences you on a personal level?

How do you make decisions when you deal with ethical issues?

How has doing this module helped you to take an ethical stance in your personal life?

In the course of this module you have been expected to reflect on the ethos of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, uBuntu and the messages of Lady Justice. Keep these issues in mind and imagine that you are already working in the justice system.

How do you think the three elements mentioned above (the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, uBuntu and the messages of Lady Justice) should influence your personal code of ethics and conduct as a functionary in the justice system?

Think of a role model whom you believe embodies the qualities that are vital to being ethical. This does not have to be a famous person. Say who this person is and why you look up to him/her for ethical guidance.

Discuss your views on the importance of ethics in the workplace. How will ethics influence your own role in the justice system? Include ideas on the qualities that you would like to see in yourself as an ethical person in the justice system.
