A Healthy Work Setting
An integral facet of becoming reflective is self-questioning, that is, questioning for the aim of understanding situations so that they become increasingly clear and coherent (Daudelin, 1996; Parse, 1992). The traditional brief story, “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” focuses on the thought of self-deception . In this story the Emperor, concerned with surface look only, sought to decorate himself in a brand new materials that was fantastic, mild, and invisible to these thought of foolish and unworthy. The peasants, who did not want to appear foolish or unworthy, praised the Emperor’s garments, even when they couldn’t see them. Finally, it was a small baby who identified that the Emperor had nothing on at all. As illustrated on this story, a classic definition of self-deception is a misconception that’s favorable to the one that holds the misconception and fails to see that a problem exists.
