Ethical Decision Making
Question 1
Dealing with ethical dilemmas can be problematic. It for this reason that Crane et al.
(2019) argues that there is no single ethical theory or approach that is more practicable when it
comes to dealing with situations that involve ethical dilemmas (Chapter 3, Slide, 33). Crane et al.
prescribe a prism of ethical theories; a variety of normative considerations to solve ethical
dilemmas (Chapter 3, Slide, 33). Going by the description of issues at play, it is apparent that no
single ethical approach can conclusively deal with the problem. It is important that underlying
issues likely to affect the appropriateness of the choice taken to be considered. This caution is
underscored by the fact that there is no conclusive evidence to link the alleged theft to the coowner.
In light of the issues in question, a pluralist approach may be more suitable for dealing
with the problem. Personal interest is one of the considerations that I will consider when
deciding the right course of action to take. Specifically, I will consider the consequence of the
action taken on my ability to earn a living and provide for my family (Crane et al., 2019, Chapter
3, slide 34). Personal interest consideration calls upon placing personal interest above everything
else. The second step towards arriving at most suitable decisions involves social consequences
consideration (Crane et al., 2019, Chapter 3, slide 34). The goal is to arrive at a decision that is
likely to increase the overall benefits to everyone affected.
Considering that there is no conclusive evidence to link the theft to my co-owner and the
likelihood false allegations is likely to have on the work environment, following egoism and
utilitarianism ethical guidelines seems more appropriate. Egoism ethical theory prescribes that an
action or decision should be deemed morally right if the consequences resulting from the action
are more favorable to an individual (Crane et al., 2019, Chapter 3, Slide 13). Since the goal of
egoism ethical perspective is to maximize personal interest, the best decision will encompass
investing the alleged theft and seeking compensation. On the other hand, utilitarianism ethics, the
right decision to be taken is the one that maximizes the benefits to the majority (Crane et al.,
2019, Chapter 3, Slide 14). Since the profit share has not been affected, and there is no evid...
