The social and ethical responsibilities of a person are most important to be developed in the
academic life. These responsibilities helps a person to develop effectiveness in social
paradigms and aspects. This project report includes ways in which project work shop
activities develop social as well as ethical awareness and responsibility.

How and why have the project workshop activities developed your social and
ethical awareness and responsibility? (500 words)
The project workshop activities were most important for me to develop effective approach in
analysing the value of social and ethical awareness. In order to increase by ethical and
social awareness, my teachers and professors supported me in a well defined manner. The
key role of mine is to develop focused strategic and planning framework in order to deal with
the internal environment. It is also major role of an individual to focus on increasing the
ethical awareness in order to increase the competitive strength. The project workshop which
was conducted, taught me lessons related to social and ethical development. I consider that
these awareness will also help me in my career and academic field. The social awareness
will be also helpful for me in order to develop key and social approach in order to guide
others. My seniors also taught me different lessons based on social and ethical awareness
to increase my knowledge. In order to develop learning and development based approach, it
is essential for me to focus on key ways of doing the things right. The ethical awareness will
also support me to remain ethical in my professional life which is my main target. Social
awareness will also help me in increasing my potential related to basic things and
applications of honesty. Now I am also able to impress my parents and society in a precise
and systematic manner with the help and support of key considerations. This is major role of
individual to focus on increasing key skills and competencies which are related to internal
strengths and weaknesses to overcome major consequences of life. The ethical approach
will also support me to gain appreciation from my surroundings and in the institution as well.
The workshop which was conducted by experts provided perfect knowledge to me in order
to increase my ethical awareness. Main duty of mine is to implement ethics and integrity in
my personal life to make myself more satisfied. The workshop also gave me a chance to
improve my key skills which are important for developing ethics. In the era of stiff
competition in professional life, social and ethical approach helps an individual to develop
dynamic personality. The key goal of an individual should be to apply all major methods and
techniques which are important for overall development. Workshop are major resource for
an individual which helps in increasing the chances of success in the academic life as well.
The recently discovered ways and methods are also important for an individual to be
learned by increasing the chances of success. Main focus of an individual should be on
increasing participation in all major activities in order to develop effective consequences of
learning. The key considerations related to social development and welfare will help the
individual to develop effective ways of increasing social values.
