Students understand that the virtue of caring frequently interacts with other ethical principles requiring them to be careful that: 1) Honesty is not causing them to be unnecessarily hurtful or offensively blunt (e.g., telling a person their speech was absolutely awful). 2) In seeking to impose justice, they do not miss opportunities to be merciful and forgiving. 3) While respecting another’s privacy, they do not condone or ignore dangerous and harmful conduct. 4) Their sense of responsibility is proportionate to their actual level of authority and moral duty and that they do not ignore their own needs.
