3. What are the 5 process steps of ethical decision making we learned in this lesson?

1 answer

While I don’t have access to a specific lesson you’re referring to, I can provide a common framework for ethical decision-making that typically includes five steps:

  1. Identify the Ethical Issue: Recognize and articulate the ethical dilemma or issue at hand. Determine what is at stake and who will be affected.

  2. Gather Information: Collect relevant information and facts that pertain to the situation. This may involve understanding the context, the stakeholders involved, and any laws or regulations that apply.

  3. Evaluate Alternatives: Consider the possible courses of action. Evaluate the alternatives by analyzing their potential impact on the stakeholders and assessing them against ethical principles (such as fairness, justice, and rights).

  4. Make a Decision: Choose the course of action that aligns with ethical standards and values. Consider the implications of this decision and whether it can be justified.

  5. Implement and Reflect: Carry out the decision and observe the outcomes. Reflect on the decision-making process and the consequences of the action taken, learning from the experience for future ethical dilemmas.

If your lesson had a different set of steps or a specific framework, please provide more details, and I can adjust the response accordingly.
