Reflection SG 4 (Gee 1)
Application of Beneficence:
The concept of beneficence is clearly demonstrated in this situation by the OFW's
unselfish desire to use their employment abroad to better their loved ones and their
families. An overseas family worker (OFW) gives up their personal comfort and well-
being in order to give those in their family in the Philippines access to better economic
possibilities, educational chances, and material living standards. The financial stability
of the OFW's family is enhanced by the earnings they send home, which allow them to
fund their goals and dreams, access necessities like healthcare and education, and buy
necessities. Additionally, by sending money home, OFWs contribute to the Philippine
economy by lowering poverty, promoting economic progress, and enhancing the
general well-being of the people of the Philippines. Even with all of their difficulties,
OFWs' efforts demonstrate the beneficence principle by advancing the welfare of
happiness of others, especially their families and communities.
Application of Non-maleficence:
The group leader in this situation is required by the principle of nonmaleficence to take
into account the well-being of their suffering group member and take action to minimize
suffering. The group leader may help the struggling student by helping them prioritize
their work, giving them additional assistance or tutoring, and showing them kindness
and support. In order to ensure that the assignment is finished effectively without
placing an excess load on the struggling student, the leader of the group should also
honestly discuss the problem with the other members of the team and work together to
identify solutions. The group leader can preserve the nonmaleficence principle and
foster an environment for learning that is welcoming and inclusive for all participants by
responding with empathy and compassion.
