This week we are looking at how we can use rules for making ethical decisions.
You chose 5 rules of your own as the rules you would have if they were the only rules in the world. We then used thinking hats to help us consider our rules. The basic idea is that rules are a nice easy way to make ethical decisions. It is easy to know what is right and what is wrong when you have rules.
Unfortunately there are two problems with rules. Firstly, rules can multiply as people make new rules for every situation. Secondly, sometimes rules can be interpreted badly and don’t allow much flexibility depending on the situation.
For homework there were three questions to be answered on the back of the sheet.
