Discussion Post
In the 2018 eleven minute TED talk video attached below, Molly Chung talks about "bounded rationality." Ms. Chung suggests that, like our minds subconsciously processing eleven million pieces of information at once, we make many of our ethical decisions subconsciously. Ms. Chung explains that it is often our unwillingness to accept that we have room to grow toward being a better person that keeps us from it. Arguably, Ms. Chang hits on why it is important to study ethics. It is the thinking about why we do what we do that is most likely to help us to be better people and help others think about why they do what they do.
For this discussion, watch the video and think about a decision a public safety administrator might have to make, either doing the job or performing an administrative act, which could have a component of ethics associated with it.
Discuss what an unconscious decision might (could) look like and what might drive one to that decision. Discuss what choices might be available and apply at least two ethical theories, preferably from the this readings, to the decision and explain what those theories might suggest as the "right" course of action. Finally, explain what you think about Ms. Chung's point.
