Document Summary
Moral awareness: recognition that a moral issue exists in a situation. What determines whether a person/authority sees the moral issues at stake. Degree to which an issue has ethical urgency. Depends on potential for harm and social pressure. Degree to which people are attentive to issues of morality. Moral judgement: accurately identifying what is the right and wrong courses of action. What determines whether a person understands the right vs wrong things to do. Moral principles (prescriptive guides, define what is right) Moral intention: degree to which someone is committed to the moral course of action. What influences whether someone intends to do the right thing. Moral behaviour: turning intention into actual moral behaviour. According to the model we might engage in unethical behaviour b/c: We didn"t realize there was an ethical issue (no awareness) Best intentions but something prevented us to act (intention but no behaviour) Or weak intentions (want to do right thing, but don"t care enough)
