Every scenario has multiple solutions. Try to come up with several solutions to each scenario and then examine your solutions using the following value assessment criteria. If you are working in a group, have each member select their personal course of action. Then use the discussion folder assigned to you to evaluate each members' course of action using the criteria below. Remember, no solution should be discounted; make no judgment as to whether a solution is right or wrong.
In examining a solution, consider these concepts:
- Your aversion to punishment.
- Is your solution legal?
- Does it comply with company or school policies?
- Your image.
- Would you like to be analyzed on 60 Minutes?
- Would you be proud to tell your friends or family?
- How will the decision make you feel about yourself?
- Your responsibility.
- Would your decision be fair for all people?
- Do you owe any loyalty to anyone? To what extent?
- How would you behave in a similar situation in a different setting?
- Does your solution actually solve the problem? How long term of a solution is it?
- Your capacity to affect others.
- If you were one of the others involved, how would you see it?
- Could your decision hurt or injure others?
- What if everyone took your course of action?
- How would your decision affect the organization or school as a whole?
