Do the results of the questionnaire seem true to you?

Yes, the results of the questionnaire seem correct. I scored relatively high as it relates to the Harm/Care statistic and the Fairness/Reciprocity statistics.

Do the moral foundations and the results of the questionnaire accurately describe how you judge right and wrong?

Yes, the questionnaire does describe how to judge right and wrong. From a personal perspective I care heavily about the dichotomy of harm relative to care. Many of the questions that revolved about harm elicited the strongest responses from me. Admittedly, this is partially informed by many of the racial injustices that I have witnessed both personally and in the news. We continue to see individuals of certain races victimized in the country. What first started as an issue related directly to the African American community has subsequently reached the Asian American community. Here, these communities have experienced physical violence, racial biases and lack of opportunities. The COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated many of these issues related to the Asian American community as many Americans blame China for the turmoil they are experiencing. This has caused some forms of social unrest with the nation. Hispanics on the border has also show my proclivity towards the harm vs. care element within the questionnaire. In addition, the element of fairness is also very important to me. Here, I believe the questionnaire was accurate in its assessment.

When you think about what is most important to you, can you apply this model or would you need to expand the model to describe your moral system?

Yes, with any system, it is subject to nuances that may not accurately reflect the beliefs of the individual. The questionnaire is no different in this regard. The model, I believe, accurately reflects my value for fairness and care. However, the nuances of these characteristics are not provided in the questionnaire. For example, many of these aspects require context which may not be reflected in the questionnaire. For one, the terms harm, care, fairness, and reciprocity are all terms that are broad in their definitions. This ultimately leaves it up to the individual for interpretation. As a result, the model may not reflect these nuances as it attempts to make sense of the results.

As it relates to application of the model, I do believe from a broad sense, the results can be used to influence behavior....

...

My model has helped to narrow the overall scop of my moral system in a manner that allows me to better identify what I believe is right and wrong. However, I do believe this system could potentially change over time as I get older and experience more of life. The model appears to present a static opinion at a place and time which is beneficial. However, it is important to recognize that the results may vary as the individual grows and develops.

On the basis of the results of this questionnaire, what types of clients or issues might you expect to bring up challenges or conflicts in your human services work?

As it relates to my human services work, I anticipate challenges in which society rewards bad behavior. One element that this occurs with is the overall child support system in America. Here, many women look to weaponize their children as a means of taking advantage of the father. Here the child support system is designed to make sure both parents are involved financially in the childs life. What is occurring however is that men are being taken advantage of by women who are exploiting the system. Here, through child support, women receive what amounts to a check every month from men. This check can spend however the month chooses, which may or may not be representative of the needs of child. In many instances, women use these funds to exploit men to earn a wage that does not go the child. This is not fair to men. What is more alarming is that society does nothing to improve this system. The criminal justice system is the same way which heavily impacts African American and Hispanic children. This is significant challenge to my human service work as the prevailing forces are very difficult to overcome. In addition, these seems to be no societal desire to change or even alter these systems to improve them. This creates challenges…
