Dedicated to my real-life sister, Debbie, and to my spiritual sisters Allison, Rose, and Pam, all of whom keep me nourished with their love. v An Introduction to Ethical Challenges Right and wrong. Good and bad. What may I do? What must I do? Which is the best thing to do? Every thinking person grapples with these issues. But most people make their choices haphazardly and hope that things will turn out okay. There is a better way. When people think about the different components involved in ethical decision making, they tend to become better at making tough choices. Their decision making improves in three ways: clarity, consistency, and completeness. Clarity means that people can describe what they are choosing in specific situations and why. It is good to be able to explain one’s choices. Saying, “I did what I felt like doing,” is not an adequate explanation if someone else is suffering because of your choice. If you can explain your reasoning to yourself, you are in a better position to examine the adequacy of your choice and determine how you might want to do things differently in the future.
