For this activity, consider a time in your professional life when you have struggled with an ethical dilemma.
- Consider your approach to the ethical dilemma.
- Based on your description of your approach, identify which ethics theory best matches your approach.
- Choose another theory that takes a different view and reevaluate the situation applying this theory.
- How does each theory create a different perspective of the situation, and what impact does this have on your decision? Does one theory work better to identify the 'right' answer?
Your responses to the discussion questions should relate the assigned readings and viewings to the discussion topic and should not consist only of personal opinion. Your opinion is important to the discussion, but it is important that you add connections to the material to support your views. Without a foundation in the literature, your opinion has little professional value. For example, "Based on Trevino and Nelson's stance that cultural relativism creates an environment where unethical behavior is justified through the cultural discourse (year, P#), the discussion should center around......" This type of statement allows you to connect your views to the literature. This is possible even when you are providing personal examples.
