Brooks’ “Humility Code” is composed of 15 interrelated character traits that Brooks feels are essential for developing the moral integrity of Adam 11. In this section, the task is to Identify and Describe Four Character Traits from Brooks’ List that you feel are essential for human services workers to emulate.
(A) Identify and define Four Traits that you feel are essential to human services workers.
(B) Describe the reasons “why” you selected these Four Traits and why you feel these Four Traits are so important for human services workers to emulate. Try and Use examples from your field placements.
(C) What is your understanding of the last paragraph (below) of The Road To Character? (p. 270)? “Joy is not produced because others praise you. …Joy comes as a gift when you least expect it. At those fleeting moments you know why you were put here and what truth you serve. You may not feel giddy at those moments, you may not hear the orchestra’s delirious swell or see flashes of crimson and gold, but you will feel a satisfaction, a silence, a peace- a hush. Those moments are the blessings and the signs of a beautiful life. “
How does this statement apply to the work that human service workers perform?
