Part 1: Description

• Rate your decision. On a scale from 1-10 how happy were you with your decision? (1 = Very unhappy 10 = Very happy) and state why you thought that.

Part 2: Analysis

You should include critical thinking in your analysis.

Part 3: Reflection

Please include the following:

• Did any of the ethical theories discussed in Part 2 make you happier with the decision you made in Part 1? Why? or Why not?
• Did any of the ethical theories discussed in Part 2 make you less happy with the decision you made in Part 1? Why? or Why not?
• If you were in that same situation again would you make the same decision again? Why? or Why not?

Please make sure that you have completed all parts of Assignment 1 before submitting it.

Additional Information:

Part 1 - Have you described an ethical or moral dilemma? Make sure it is an ethical or moral dilemma and not something else. If you are unsure look at the Readings and Activities sections in Module 1 again.

Part 2 - Have you applied ethical theories to analyze the event? If you are unsure look at the Readings and Activities sections in Module 2 again.

Part 3 - Have you reflected on your original decision in Part 1? If you are unsure look at the Readings and Activities sections in Module 3.

Overall - Have you written clearly so that the marker can understand what you have written about? If the marker cannot understand you they will be unable to give you a very good mark. It does not matter how much you know, how good you are or how smart you are. If you do not show us that in your assignment, then we cannot give you the marks that you might deserve!

Your written work is the medium between what you are thinking and what we believe you are thinking. Make sure that the written work is not like a mobile phone that has a weak signal.
