Question by thememphians:
Need help with writing a paper on ethics? My topic is sex education on the public schools.?
For the first part I am to articulate the ethical issue, which I have chosen as sex ed in public schools. The second part is what is confusing me.
It says to explain the process required to reach an ethical decision. I get the next part, which is to then look at both sides and discuss the pros and cons. What I don't get and don't know how to word is the part that says "explain the process required to reach an ethical decision." Any advice??

A Framework for Ethical Decision Making
Recognize an Ethical Issue
1. Is there something wrong personally, interpersonally, or socially? Could the conflict, the situation, or the decision be damaging to people or to the community?
2. Does the issue go beyond legal or institutional
concerns? What does it do to people, who have dignity, rights, and hopes for a better life together?
Get the Facts
3. What are the relevant facts of the case? What facts are unknown?
4. What individuals and groups have an important stake in the outcome? Do some have a greater stake because they have a special need or because we have special obligations to them?
5. What are the options for acting? Have all the relevant persons and groups been consulted? If you showed your list of options to someone you respect, what would that person say?
Evaluate Alternative Actions From Various Ethical Perspectives
6. Which option will produce the most good and do the least harm?
Utilitarian Approach: The ethical action is the one that will produce the greatest balance of benefits over harms.
7. Even if not everyone gets all they want, will everyone's rights and dignity still be respected?
Rights Approach: The ethical action is the one that most dutifully respects the rights of all affected.
8. Which option is fair to all stakeholders?
Fairness or Justice Approach: The ethical action is the one that treats people equally, or if unequally, that treats people proportionately and fairly.
9. Which option would help all participate more fully in the life we share as a family, community, society?
Common Good Approach: The ethical action is the one that contributes most to the achievement of a quality common life together.
10. Would you want to become the sort of person who acts this way (e.g., a person of courage or compassion)?
Virtue Approach: The ethical action is the one that embodies the habits and values of humans at their best.
Make a Decision and Test It
11. Considering all these perspectives, which of the options is the right or best thing to do?
12. If you told someone you respect why you chose this option, what would that person say? If you had to explain your decision on television, would you be comfortable doing so?
