1. Write a report that discusses an ethical dilemma that you have experienced in your workplace.

2. In your report, discuss the nature of the dilemma, and how you resolved (or tried to resolve) it.

3. Use ethical theory to assess your actions. An effective way to do this is to:

a. Choose an ethical theory to apply to your actions.

b. Briefly outline the theory to demonstrate your understanding of it.

c. Apply it to the issue (HINT: It’s easier to choose a theory with which you feel comfortable and apply it to the case than it is to try to find a theory that justifies your actions). Justify any assumptions that you make.

d. When you have applied the theory, make a clear statement regarding whether or not your application of theory finds your actions ethical.

4. Discuss whether you might do anything differently now that you have an understanding of ethical theory.

5. Explain how your actions may have affected other stakeholders (i.e. anyone who may have been affected by your actions).
