Ethics Discussion

     I found the ethics discussion quite intriguing. I found that mostly everyone had some sort of overlap, in that they had some sort of morals that guided their decisions. I really liked the two diagrams depicting various parts of our lives, and how they needed to be balanced. I have never thought about life or decisions based on that way, and it made me think quite a bit on how ethics/morals in my own life guide my decisions subconsciously. I did not dive much into it while speaking, and I have had a little more after thought on the subject, but I would say that religion and influences are my biggest motivators in my decisions ethically. Religiously, I try to do better for those around me. I try to make sure that their needs are taken care of before mine, and I also will try to help others in need. This is not perfect because it takes a conscious effort, but it is an ever evolving thing for me. I also believe my family plays a huge part in influencing my ethics. My mother made it a point growing up anywhere she could that my brothers and I should make sure to put our differences aside, and to help each other when one of us struggles. The has led me to be more compassionate to those around me who are less fortunate, and to help others who are struggling, and to put my pride aside to help others. I would say those two things are the biggest influences in my personal ethics.

    Hello Evan,

    The topic and discussion on ‘ethics’ also had me reflecting on different aspects of my life. Religion and family are the two major factors or influences that have helped to shape me. My parents, grandmother, and aunt are the best role models in my life. My family is important to me, and I have learned that it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated. You mentioned something very essential in our everyday lives-compassion for others. At this moment, we need to have compassion for others, especially the needy and unfortunate who have lost loved ones because of Hurricane Helene.

Three things I learned from the HiveTracks and Bee Informed Partnership case study

     From this study, I learned three key insights: Firstly, launching a software company entails continuous evolution and adaptation of its products. Secondly, funding for projects can be secured through grants. Lastly, if you are interested in something, there is data to be found/gathered from it. The one that will stick with me is the last point. Which essentially means that you can create a software based around anything. I like this idea because I have had some pretty decent ideas in the past for various applications, and I hope to get around to them one day.

Final blog post

    I could write for hours about important things I have learned this semester, and it was really challenging to come up with my top 3 important things. I have finally narrowed those things down. The first thing would be invest in friendships with classmates sooner. This will help keep up with deadlines, help relieve stress, and you may also find various networking connections when you start your job search. The second important thing would to be to start EARLY working on your resume. I never realized how much a resume can change in such a short period of time. Over this semester I have revised mine over 10 times. The reason that this is important is due to applying to jobs. In my experience this semester, I have applied to well over 100 jobs, and most of them take quite a long time to reply. You want to make sure this is up to your standards before waiting on responses! The third thing would be going to the job fair, and taking interviews with companies even if you may not b...
