Instructor Note:
This session should help students connect with their own value system and they should then be able to relate it with the term “work ethics”. They will be able to understand that it’s important to become adaptable to the new culture while staying firm on personal values. As a lot of students migrate to different places and new jobs, they will be able to create a balance between being culturally fit and strong work ethics. |
