UNIT 8 SELF RELIANCE

Self reliance;- As individuals it is important that we all develop the ability to be self
reliant. It is necessary to develop the skills to be independent both in our thinking and in
the way that we live. Self awareness includes recognition of our abilities, strength and
weakness, likes and dislikes. The better you understand yourself, the better you able to
accept and develop yourself as a person. Self reliant people also have self confidence and
make good decisions about their lives as well as the lives of others.

The importance of moral sensitivity

Decision making requires examining the pros and cons of the decisions that you make. You
need to question the morality of your decision in order to take morally sound actions. One
skill involved in making good moral decisions is sensitivity to moral issue.

Moral sensitivity refers to care and consideration of issues related to right and wrong
decision or actions. Many decisions, which have moral importance, should be based on
moral values. Discussing moral issues with others can help to explore the different moral
dimension.
