In this article “The Framework for Ethical Decision Making” I learned the six different ethical lenses and a structured approach to resolve ethical dilemmas. One of the six ethical lenses is The Common Good Lens. This lens focuses on ideas and ethical decisions that would contribute to the community and society welfare. This past year a couple friends and I volunteered at the food bank. This allowed us to pack food for those in the community who need it. We were able to provide healthy food which can increase well-being. While volunteering, I feel as if me and the people around me were building a better community. We all came together to try and better a problem that will always occur. Another ethical lens that I feel is used by many college students is The Care Ethics Lens. This lens is solely for relationships, empathy, and responsibility towards others. I have used this many times in college as I have been involved in many group projects which require you to be collaborative with others. Last semester, I had a semester-long project with a group our professor put us in. We had to meet in person and all had to encourage each other that we could share our thoughts and any ideas we may have. This led to disagreements within group members, which led me to calming both peers down and leading a conversation on our feelings. Overall, while using the framework for ethical decisions it can lead you to having  better outcomes with collaborations in groups. It can lead to improved communication within group members, and can impact one’s social growth to only get stronger.
