Description
Ethical decision-making usually means making a choice between two rights and balancing various needs in order to make what is considered an ethical decision. This is what makes ethical decision making hard, because there isn't always one correct answer. In fact, most ethical decisions can be described as being making a choice between:
- Truth or loyalty
- Short-term or long-term
- Individual or group
- Justice or mercy
In this course, we will discuss models and tools for making ethical decisions, and will cover:
- What are ethics?
- Classical ethical approaches—making decisions for ourselves and our companies
- Classic ethical dilemmas
- Universal human values and how they play into decision-making
- Examples of ethical decision-making models prevalent in the world
By understanding how these ethical decision-making models work, we can determine a model that is best for us to use in making these difficult “right versus right” decisions.
