POLINES
They hold that moral judgments at their best should also be emotional.
Feelings are seen necessary in ethical judgment as they are even deemed
by some as instinctive and trained responses to moral dilemmas.
-Your feelings are often the most important factor in making decisions. But
these feelings can sometimes lead to a bad decision. If the feeling is strong
enough and you act impulsively, you may not consider all the other factors
that play into making a decision.
YATA
Moral truths - are objective in the sense that they are true no matter what we
might want or think.
IMBONG
Impartiality - involves the idea that each individual's interests and point of view are
equally important. It is a principle of justice. Impartiality in morality requires that we
give equal and/or adequate consideration to the interests of all concerned parties.
ELIGAN
-A model for making moral decisions, Rae (1996) suggests the following
procedure for making moral decisions – within this, his work is not to get you to
the “right” answer but to help you ask the right questions in your ethical
deliberation.
-Rae says his model is free from cultural, ethnic and religious background biases –
though it is consistent with the Bible and uses biblical principles, it is not a
distinctively “Christian model”.
ELIGAN
Ask: Do you have the facts that are necessary to make a good decision? What do we
know? What do we need to know? In this light might become clear that the dilemma is
not ethical but about communication or strategy.
ELIGAN
7 Step Model
7 Step Model
-Creatively determine possible courses of action for your dilemma. Some will almost
immediately be discarded but generally the more you list the greater potential for
coming up with a really good one. It will also help you come up with a boarder selection
of ideas.

6. Consider the consequences
-If principles have not yielded a clear decision consider the consequences of your
alternatives. Take the alternatives and work out the positive and negative consequences
of each. Estimate how beneficial each positive and negative consequence is – some might
have greater weight than others.
7. Make a decision
-Ethical decisions rarely have pain-free solutions – it might be you have to choose the
solution with the least number of problems/painful consequences.
MUEGA
Moral Courage
-Ethics and integrity involve doing the right thing, especially when faced with
shame, opposition, or disapproval. It involves matching words and actions with
values and ideals, focusing on who we reveal ourselves through our actions.
SUELAN
Will - refers to the mental ability that selects the strongest desire among
the variety of desires present at the time of decision-making. The will
does not need reason or any determination.
The work of the first is to know; and of the second is to desire, to move, to enjoy.
The will of itself is blind; like every other appetite in every other creature, it
trails along, following and limited by knowledge.
SUELAN
Yet from the combination of these two, we have that distinctive human product
– movement with knowledge, controlled or deliberate movement, that is
the means by which happiness is obtained. Not movement alone, but
controlled movement make a success of life.
