Threats to Emotional Objectivity Essay

Consider a series of potential threats to your objectivity and write an essay response. Consider the following:

  1. How might your own social roles (e.g., son, daughter, mother, father, student, ex-husband or wife, caretaker, etc.) be a source of interference and loss of objectivity when encountering certain individuals or specific problems in your workplace?
    • (Please be certain to discuss your specific faith belief system in this section, as that tends to be a significant part of one’s identity). ** Keep in mind I am a 20-year-old female and I am a Christian.
  2. Identify at least 2 “themes” or “issues” that arouse an emotional response (i.e., frustration, anger, disappointment, exasperation, overwhelming sadness, etc.) in you.
    • For example, themes of emotional dependency, victimization, anger-management problems, irresponsibility, poor moral choices, authority, etc.
    • Then discuss how these themes might interfere with your ability to remain objective while encountering a person presenting with similar concerns.
    • Again, please comment on how this may or may not interfere with your faith beliefs. You may choose to use each of these three questions as separate subheadings in your essay.
