We are often faced with making an ethical decision… but, how often do we actually employ an ethical decision making process in arriving at our decision? The workshop will explore the conceptual tools and frameworks that participants can use to identify, articulate, and resolve ethical dilemmas that confront them. Case histories will be used to illustrate various approaches which have been used (utilitarian, rights, fairness or justice, common good, virtue, caring). Small discussion/breakout groups will be used to promote individual understanding of the approaches. Participants will be asked to explore the ethical implications of a topic or case of particular interest and share their exploration with their fellow explorers.
