Ethical Decision Making
When making a final decision, it's often challenging and stressful. In order to arrive at a final
conclusion, we must follow the seven procedures outlined in Moral Choice chapter four.
Gathering information is the first stage. The next stage is to identify the ethical problems. The
third step is to establish what virtues/principles are relevant to the situation. As a last step, it's
important to outline the alternatives to the dilemma's resolution. Compare the alternatives with
the virtues/principles in the fifth phase of the evaluation process. The sixth stage is to think about
the possible repercussions. In the end, a conclusion is drawn. If Daniel, a computer engineer at a
firm who has developed an app, wants to share information about the app's users with the
marketing department, the author will follow these seven steps.
Gathered Facts
Asking questions like "Do you have all the information that are essential to make a smart
decision?" or "What do we know?" might help explain an ethical quandary. If the answers to
these questions are right, it will be easier to determine what the problem is.
Daniel created an app that keeps track of a patient's medical history, doctor's appointments, and
medications. App stores all of the user's personal information, including their medications and
how often they see a doctor. The app's creators have full access to all of this data. Ads and app
suggestions are targeted to individual users since the marketing department wants to know more
about their habits. Daniel believes he has a duty to preserve the user's privacy because he is in
charge of the information entrusted to him.
