DEJ 5:

The resource Frameworks for Ethical Analysis provides a structured approach to evaluating ethical dilemmas through diverse frameworks such as consequentialism, rights and responsibilities, and virtue ethics. According to the text, “The framework that people use to guide their ethical thinking will influence their decision-making” (Frameworks for Ethical Analysis, Science Learning Hub). This resource helps us understand how different approaches shape our perspectives and decisions in everyday life. This resource reminds me of times when I’ve faced ethical dilemmas at work. For example, when handling sensitive client information, I often weighed the consequences of sharing versus withholding certain details. I leaned on both professional responsibilities and the potential impact on others to make these decisions. This article helped me realize that I had been unconsciously using a blend of these ethical frameworks all along. The ethical frameworks outlined in the article reflect debates on AI ethics and data privacy, such as the ongoing discussions about companies using customer data. Consequentialism in the real world can be seen in corporate decisions where firms balance the benefits of data use against the potential harm to privacy. This article resonates with how real-world ethical concerns are analyzed and addressed in public policy and business.
