Ethics in Practice
Ethical Decision Making
Think about a situation you have experienced where the ethics were problematic for you; perhaps, it was a hiring decision, a firing decision, or allocation of scarce resources. Answer the following prompt:
– How did you make your decision? What were your guiding thoughts?
– Were you satisfied with the outcome, or would you handle the situation differently if you could do it over?
– Is there anything you wish you had known at the time?
– What advice would you give someone facing the same or a similar situation?
