Porfolio 2:
I faced a negative experience at my office recently. I was provided with a specific task
regarding a product design on additive technology. At first, an outline of the design was
provided to me by the team leader. As it went through the process and analysis, I discovered
that the product has been already in use by another company. It was also same the blueprint
that I have been delivered. As I got the task, I immediately rejected that and this lead to an
chaotic conflict at office.
The cause behind this chaos has been on the fact that the organization It was working
was not able to face quick consequences because of various infringement copyright laws. On
the other hand, the organization I found out to be using that product can charge my
organization with various misdemeanours. Thus, being the product designer, I also could
have faced various problems because of this issue. However, my negative reaction was not
taken in light way and the supervisors ordered me to finish the assignment instead of any
additional questions.
Thus the above case, helped me in learning various skills regarding conducting of
work in diligent way. The keeping my profession in mind it way my task to conduct by
professionalism in the best and most effective ethical manner that has been possible to me.
This assigned task by the team leader has not an instance of my professional work. Thus the
task could have tampered my own professional behaviour and conduct.
Then, without any additional thinking, I quickly decided over the processes for
combating that problem. This has been the best way to fight with the problem and I was
unable to ignore the problem and then report that to higher authorities regarding unethical
practices. Through considering the seriousness I was asked the team leader for considering
the case again. I urged him to think from an ethical view-point. Moreover, I provided various

recommendations for facing the challenge without hurtling the company’s productivity. Thus
being product designers, this has been taking more time than it has been suggested by my
team leader. However, the suggested outcome of the product has been the same as the ethical
issues that I have witnessed last time. Thus, besides, copying the outline of the product, I
might have simply developed that product from the scratch. This could have saved my
company’s reputations.
However, the positive effect of the complete scenario has been that I was able to make
by team leader analyze the consequence of this tasks. Thus, through the problem solving and
interpersonal skills of mine, I was able to make the higher authorities understand about
various issues that was faced by me at the office. Despite this, the only adverse effect of the
overall experience of mine was the entire experience itself. It had made my team leader angry
on me. This is because I refused directly his given task and then notified that to the
supervisors about that specific concern.
Portfolio 3:
A ghost writer is the one who have been taking money instead of his writings and no
credit is given to him. They are hired as freelancers for producing copies of their work. This
has sounded odd to me for the first time. However, this has been a common practice. I have
witnessed the fact that my friends have been passing their exams with good marks with the
help of ghost writers. This has been a subject of concern, since the success has been coming
from other’s professional skills. Hence, I thought to complain to my lecturer about this
occurring. However, I have been sincerely hoping that they would understand the motives
behind these acts in a long run.
