Students demonstrate the ability to discern the ethical implications of their choices by systematically considering core ethical principles and the discipline to do what they think is right even when it is difficult, risky, or personally costly.7 1) Students understand that they are morally and legally accountable for the consequences of their decisions (including a decision not to decide). 2) Students evaluate their choices in terms of core ethical principles (e.g., honesty, loyalty, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, kindness, and good citizenship) and they eliminate any option that is illegal or unethical. 3) Students understand that in dilemmas where ethical principles compete (e.g., honesty versus kindness, loyalty versus fairness), they should choose the option most likely to produce the greatest good for the greatest number (i.e., the best possible result).
