Poster No. 3 of 6

We need to make choices about the:

•boundaries between our personal and professional lives

•person we present to others (our self-evaluation) – our image

•information we share with others – what we include and exclude

3. Ethical Issues (online)

Inclusion• ‘Following the crowd’ –

do we do what others do?

• What ‘picture’ do we present. Images will stereotype!

• To what extend do we ‘big ourselves up’?

• How selectively can we share information (use of settings)?

Exclusion

• Do we present only strengths and achievements?

• Do we profile only the person we want to be rather than the person we are?

• Are we honest about our aspirations?
