Assignment 2: Ethical Decision Making—Personal Experiences

Each of us faces ethical decisions on a daily basis. In this assignment, you will explore an ethical decision you have made in your life.

Tasks:

• Present an ethical choice that you have made in your life, preferably related to IT. Discuss the situation, enumerate the alternatives that you had to choose from, and guide us through your thought process as you arrived at your decision.
• Review the same decision in light of the various ethical theories reviewed in this module. Would you have arrived at the same decision in all cases? How would an alternative ethical theory have changed the decision? If an alternative ethical theory would have resulted in a different decision, would the decision be still morally justifiable?

Submission Details:
