Etical Reflection

It is worth my time and energy to learn a great amount of knowledge and ethical decision making strategies from this class. After I did the four simulation cases, I am more able to understand myself on the pattern in which I used to think and make a decision. The result of the ethical lens inventory test is not surprising that my primary lens is reputation since I know clearly that during my decision making process, I used to listen to my intuition to determine what character traits and virtues will best serve the community.

Those patterns are easily to be found in the simulation cases that it seems that there is always a rule to lead people to the right direction. During the practice in those four simulation cases, the first step is to find the facts that are important to resolve the situation and specific issue which needs to be answered immediately among several choices. Secondly, you need to find the stakeholders by which I mean those people who will be impacted most because of your decision you make. Then, based on the right and responsibility lens, you should consider whether we are following the rules and policies or whether we are obeying the duties of our personal position. Otherwise, you are breaching company's policy and your duty. Only following this pattern are we able to thinking rationally and logically in order to address the current problems we are facing. Finally, the best decision should be chosen from several alternatives.
