Making Ethical Choices, Resolving Ethical Dilemmas

MAKING ETHICAL CHOICES, RESOLVING ETHICAL DILEMMAS reflects a new approach to understanding ethics – one's own and others – based on what people actually do and say they do, rather than what they have been taught are the right and ethical things to do. The book has been developed by speaking to people from various backgrounds and discovering the wide range of ethical approaches people use in making everyday choices and handling the ethical conflicts they encounter. The book features a model for understanding how people make choices based on: their style of choosing – rational or intuitive their philosophy or values – pragmatic or moralist their orientation – to self or others their attitude towards rules – follower or innovator. The book describes the zones of ethical choices – from oneself and one's family and friends to those in the workplace, local community, and society as a whole. It discusses how our approach to making ethical choices changes over time, and provides techniques for dealing with ethical dilemmas in different situations.
