For this DEJ post, I decided to do an analysis on “A Framework for Ethical Decision-Making,” looking at a text to text, text to self, and text to world look at the article.

text to self: In this article It looks at ethics in a multitude of ways of which the article calls these viewpoints lenses. The lenses describe ways in which people can analyze ethical frameworks and give them ideas of what to look for when doing ethical considerations for anything. I personally try to look at every decision I make and view it through the ethical lenses as it really can help you decide if your decision is sound and has good logic behind it.

text to text: this article really seemed to correlate a lot to one of the other articles in our readings this week called the ‘Thinking Ethically” article we read for module three. Both articles were written by the same company called Markkula Center for applied ethics and both articles were a great read. They discussed the ethical frameworks that provide a basis for ethical decisions and then described in the other article what lenses we should use to examine these decisions.

text to world: I think that this article is very important when thinking about the way that we judge a decision or action that was made by anyone or ourselves. It provides a bases to determine if the decision was helpful or harmful, lasting or short, ethically sound or ethically lacking, etc… I cannot think of a better tool thank remembering these lenses to make more ethically sound decisions in everyday life.
