Ethics – Personal Action Plan

Order Description
Specification
“A personal action plan for ethical decision- making should include some reflection on how to cope with locus of control issues, and at least two methods of resolving ethical problems and ethical dilemmas. One method should be relatively straightforward and timely, such as a priority [moral] compass, and the other should be a procedure- based model for complex dilemmas with potentially serious consequences for one or more of the stakeholders.” (McLachlan, 2010, p. 294)

Your Final Assignment paper should be saved to a Word document, double-spaced in 12 point font, and uploaded through the assignment dropbox. Please don’t forget to put your name on your assignment. It should also include:

1. An Introduction – Give a brief overview of the contents of your paper. (about ½ page)

2. Your Personal Action Plan for Ethical Decision-Making. It will have three sections:

a) Section One: Answer the question “What will I do in the future when I face ethical “locus of control” issues? Note: You are encouraged to review course readings, course discussions and any personal writings on locus of control issues, so that your answer in this Final Assignment should demonstrate an integration of ideas drawn from the course content as well as some new thinking. (About 2 pages)

b) Section Two: Describe how you would make a decision in an ethical situation using your “personal moral compass”. Note: You are encouraged to review course readings, course discussions and any personal writings developing and using a personal moral compass, so that your answer in this Final Assignment should demonstrate an integration of ideas drawn from the course content as well as some new thinking. (About 2 pages)

c) Section Three: Describe your Personal Procedures-Based Ethical Decision-Making Model. Note: While you are encouraged to review course readings, course discussions and the examples of procedures-based ethical decision-making models from Module Twelve, you are expected to create a new model that is uniquely yours. (3 – 4 pages)

3. An Application of Your Model. You may use the same scenario you worked on in Module 9 or 11, or you can use your own scenario from personal experience, or one that you make up. Apply your Personal Procedures-Based Decision-Making Model to the scenario by working through the steps and fully answering all the questions in your model. Finish by describing the decision you would make and why. (3 – 4 pages)

4. A Conclusion. Briefly summarize your main points in your paper. (½ page)

5. A reference page.

Please use these three items as the “moral compass”: Integrity, compassion, and good intentions
