Description

Ethics provide accountability in one's profession and when working with stakeholders. One common area where professionals make mistakes is by not using a practical decision procedure. This presentation will discuss ethics in general, and then how to figure out what is right, even in difficult situations. Part of the discussion will include three organizing questions, the principle of charity, and the adoption of fallibilism.
