It‘s Complicated
AUG. 18
COMPLETE BY
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 per- sonal, professional and civic lives. Ethical reasoning, like writing or verbal communication, is a skill devel- oped 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.
The Eight Key Questions What key questions should I (we) use to evaluate the ethical dimensions of a situation? How can I (we) act justly, equitably, balancing interests? What possible actions achieve the best short- and long-term outcomes? What duties and/or obligations apply? What actions help me (us) become my (our) ideal? How do I (we) show respect for personal freedom, autonomy, consent? How would I (we) act if I (we) cared about all involved? What do legitimate authorities (e.g. experts, laws, god/s) expect? What rights, if any (e.g., innate, legal, social) apply?
