Identify what ethics looks like in the context of your personal leadership as a Walden student, specifically as it relates to the five guiding principles. Provide a detailed response to each of the following prompts:

 

• What is ethics, and what are some reasons why it is important to behave ethically in your personal and professional life?
• How can you, as a Walden student, conduct yourself ethically and in alignment with the University's five guiding principles of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility?
• For each of the five guiding principles, what is at least one specific example of an action you will take to conduct yourself ethically and in alignment with these principles?
• Use information from at least two references to Walden's Code of Conduct, other parts of the Student Handbook, or the other Learning Resources from this week that you feel are relevant. As a reminder, be sure to paraphrase, where possible, to demonstrate your understanding of the topic and provide the original sources of the information you reference in your essay.
