Consider an ethical problem you or someone you know faced recently. Write down a one to two page paper reflecting on the given:
How did you decide how to solve the ethical problem? Did you focus on the possible effects of different choices? Did you consider how your actions would influence other people in your life, community, or in the world? Did you apply a moral rule which you believe has universal authority? Alternatively, did you consider what a person you admire would do? Which ethical theory resembles the approach you took in resolving your ethical problem? For illustration, if you thought about consequences, how did your approach compare to the utilitarian principles?
Would another ethical theory have come to a different conclusion? Describe why or why not?
