Lecture summary
Chp#4: Ethical Problem-Solving Techniques
In this lecture first We read about the first step in solving an ethical problem is to
completely understand all of the issues involved. Once these issues are
determined, frequently a solution to the problem becomes apparent. The issues
involved in understanding ethical problems can be split into three categories: 1.
Factual 2. Conceptual 3. Moral. These three categories help us to solve the case
study on James who is a chemical engineer.
Then we read about there are two
types of ethical problem-solving techniques 1. Line drawing and 2. Flowcharting
is the line drawing we read two types of paradigms negative paradigm and
positive paradigm the negative paradigm is something that is unambiguously
morally unacceptable is placed on the left end of the line and the positive
paradigm is something that is unambiguously morally acceptable is placed on the
right end of the line. Whereas flowcharting is useful when there is a sequence of
events to be considered and gives a visual picture of a situation and allows the
consequences that flow from each decision to be traced. This process does not
work if not approached objectively and honestly.
After this, we read about conflicts
and resolution. Conflicts are situations that present a choice between two or more
moral values, each of which has its own merits. Then we read about the
application of problem-solving methods which is bribery/acceptance of gifts.
Bribery is something offered or given to someone in a position of trust in order
to induce him or her to act dishonestly. Whereas a gift is good if there is no reason
for some benefit behind it.
We solve different examples of the difference between
gifts and bribes. At the end of this chapter, we read about the professional success
of many ethical issues that arise in the course of looking for a job. Even though
as you approach graduation you are still an "amateur," ethical and professional
behavior is expected during your job search.
