Ethics is ultimately about our relationship to self, others, and the world in which we live. Therefore, to enhance our relationships with those around us, we must first start with the regard we hold for ourselves. From an ethical vantage, it can be said that we have a moral obligation to work toward self-love, honor, and respect. Matters of self-esteem are important in every aspect of life, including goal setting, relationships, establishing boundaries, handling conflict, levels of productivity, and expressing our needs in respectful and dignified ways. This course will explore traps of low self-esteem and ways to minimize them. We will also explore components of high self-esteem and actions to foster higher regard for self.
