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?
