In the following paper, I will discuss what I have learned during the Ethical Decision Making Class. It would include Personal Ethics and Values, Ethical or Legal Decision Making, Critical Thinking, and Utilitarianism.
First of all, among the four major ethical models, Personal Ethics and Values interest me the most. I feel it would help me to overcome any ethical dilemma I may face in the future when I need to reach a decision. The next one, I want to concentrate on is how Ethical and Legal Decision-making formed and shaped my thinking during this class. The third one, I will describe how Critical Thinking can play an important role in my life. In the last one, I would like to focus on Utilitarianism. Finally, I will have the rationale included …show more content…
Now that I completely understand the consequences and moral obligations, I feel I have more confidence to stand against unethical occurrences as it would be against my own ethics and values. I wouldn’t be at peace knowing a wrong action has taken place, the guilt and after effects would be bothersome to me. This would be something which meets my personal ethics and values that I can pass on to others, especially in my professional life.
Since I started this course I have created an ethical framework in my mind based on the learnings and consequence-based ethical decision making to use to guide me in my future endeavors whether it’s at work or anywhere else. I feel ethical decision making becomes complicated in certain situations and requires a rational approach with trade-offs between action-based and consequence-based ethics.

My ethical standards are invariably influenced and shaped by many factors such as my professional life, personal life, the culture, and most importantly the education I receive in the leadership program. Critical thinking is very necessary when I face an ethical dilemma. My greatest ethical decision making by way of critical thinking has come from this class, but I would add that I have long ways to go. In a utilitarian position, I would be willing to sacrifice my personal profits for the privilege of the whole society. What’s more, being mindful of my personal ethics and values is meaningful and necessary to fulfilling duties as an integral part of this society. It’s a best practice to have an open mind and listen to the other’s point of views before reaching my final decision for implementing new ideas. Also, as Bauer and Erdogan suggest, “the best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas” (2009, p. 11). What’s important, and really helped me in my learning are the honest feedback and the comments from the Professor. I would sincerely say that I have really enjoyed the experience of this class. It has been good to be able to know the difference between unethical, ethical, and legal decision-making processes. Thank you for all the help, and
