How can you go on to make good decisions in college and beyond? JMU’s ethical reasoning program offers a simple but powerful strategy to help you make better, more ethical decisions in everyday life. The Ethical Reasoning in Action strategy involves asking Eight Key Questions to approach decisions with curiosity and consideration for others. Asking the 8KQ helps us move from reacting to responding, which improves the way we engage with the complex situations we face in our personal, professional and civic lives. Ethical reasoning, like writing or verbal communication, is a skill developed with practice. Begin by completing the It’s Complicated Canvas course. You will learn about the 8KQ and how others use the strategy, discover your ethical reasoning preferences and encounter a challenging dilemma.
