1) Pick one of the “problems” described in chapter 8 of the course text, Geuras & Garofalo (2011), then answer the following questions from a personal perspective:
a. Explain the reason, why you chose that “problem” to explore and write about. For example: “A Questionable Hire” or “Taking a Leave or Taking Leave”.
b. Respond to the questions posed to the reader in the text — in the “analysis” section or at the end of the discussion about the specific “problem” you selected.
2) Williams (2015) discusses public action as a framework for consistent ethical behaviors, focused on duty, responsibility, answerability, and accountability, in the context of ethical climate. He proposes that ethic reasoning has its roots in KohlbergÂ’s levels of moral reasoning and ethical standards.
How do any of these theories contribute to your decision making, dealing with dilemmas and making choices? Give example/s.
