Tears Of The Sun Ethical Dilemmas

We all know right from wrong. Sometimes the difficult decision is doing what is right not what is convenient.

The last step in making a moral decision is simply making the decision. How one arranges the issues and arrives at this decision depends on one's particular set of values and cultural perspectives, but regardless the values and cultural perspectives of the decision maker, the rights and duties remain the same for any situation. One must learn to look for and identify the appropriate deontological factors. Once these factors are identified, one may use his/her own values in order to determine which factors are the most important. By applying these unique values, one is able to develop the final decision.

Every day people make decisions that may have profound effect on their personal and/or professional lives as well as the lives of others. The decision people make have a foundation on their personal, cultural, and perhaps organizational values. When these values are in disagreement, an ethical dilemma occurs.

In order to make ethical decisions, it is helpful to think about several questions, including: 1) who will be impacted by the decision, 2) who will benefit from the decision, and 3) who will suffer from the decision.

Firstly, it is obvious that we are faced with decisions every day ranging from trivial to vastly important. There are different factors that can affect all of the choices people make. Some of these factors are past experience, individual differences, and the situation. The most critical of these is the situation, although it is commonly overlooked. Usually people will attribute personal

From a young age, I have experienced multiple scenarios in which I have had to make the right choice. For example, during my sixth grade year, I went to a party where others were passing around cigarettes and alcohol and had offered them to me. I denied them and left soon after. This is a

When faced with a difficult choice a person will think the multitude of different options over before making their final decision. Do they go with the choice that will benefit them or the choice that will benefit others? Many decisions are made on the circumstances of the situation a person is in. If a person is told in a time of war to participate in an act, that person will participate due to the fear of the consequences, even if that person does not know what the consequences are. In Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher Browning the men of the battalion are faced with many options during their time in the battalion. Choices that include killing Jews in a firing squad to

The most important decisions can come when you least expect it. Being put on the spot can be stressful, but you always need to keep an open mind when choosing one way or another. From big to small, we all struggle with making the “right” choices every day. There are people in the world that are called upon to make difficult decisions as part of their profession, such as the President or a judge and jury. Others, like actors and directors, may not have life and death situations looming over them, but they still are faced with many conflicts within just one project or performance. When thinking about anything of importance, it is best to take into consideration knowledge and advice from a variety of sources before ultimately choosing one’s direction.

For a given ethical dilemma, there is usually a dominant pair. Frequently, more than one must be considered, and sometimes all four. But, as Kidder

Often you run into times when a decision has to be made, but because of certain desires and obligations you can find yourself in a conflicting position. What if there was a decision that had to be made concerning the life or death of someone else? Not to mention it is a family members life. What are some of the factors that might be taken into consideration when someone’s life is on the line?

In this scenario I will not choose to respond by stating the choice I would make, I will simply respond by offering the possible decision I could make. The dilemma I face is that there is not enough information to make an informed decision. This scenario has limited information that is crucial to the decision making process. For me the issue at hand requires that I make an ethical decision based on limited information. Therefore, at this point any decision I make would be based on assumptions that I read from the information provided. I am not trying to use a technicality to respond to this scenario, but deep within this scenario is an ethical question. What do I view as right and wrong? In addition, to ethics is the biblical concepts of salvation, forgiveness, redemption, and judgment.

Making consistently ethical decisions is difficult. Most decisions have to be made in the context of economic, professional and social pressures, which can sometimes challenge our ethical goals and conceal or confuse the moral issues. In addition, making ethical choices is complex because in many situations there are a multitude of competing interests and values. Other times, crucial facts are unknown or ambiguous. Since many actions are likely to benefit some people at the expense of others, the decision maker must prioritize competing moral claims and must be proficient at predicting the likely consequences of various choices. An ethical person often chooses to do more than the law requires and less than the law allows.
