IntroductionEthics is an important part of life in today's society as it raises questions about our morality and how we react to certain situations. According to Bennett-Woods (2005), ethics is best defined as “a branch of philosophy that studies morality through the critical examination of right and wrong in human action.” Characters and behaviors begin to form over time not only because of the morals we grew up with, but also through life experiences. While working as a healthcare provider, there are times when situations may test our morals as human beings, but it is essential to decide what would be the best course of action to benefit patients. I know my morals have been questioned quite frequently, but these challenges have also helped me form a new perspective on many issues. Theories Aligned with Personal Moral Framework When I started taking this course, I thought I knew exactly which theory best suited me as a person; however, I came to realize that I was wrong. I feel like I have a little bit of each theory in my moral framework, but I tend to stick to a few when making decisions. After much consideration and examining my thoughts on past discussions, I have decided that I tend to lean more towards the utilitarian theory. I chose this theory primarily in the sense that I really weigh the consequences of my decisions before making the actual decision (Bennett-Woods, 2005). I focus on how that particular decision will affect the people around me. My mother told me that I needed to stop worrying about pleasing other people around me and just make a decision that made me happy; however, I tend to care more about the people involved in my decision making. The decision... middle of paper......and its pain. This is a particular situation where ethical principles conflict with each other as well as with my values. My values ​​and morals are essential in my decision making. I feel it is pertinent that I remain true to my morals and myself; however, I am aware that there will be many situations where these morals and values ​​will be called into question. All ethical principles are essential when making a decision; however, there are circumstances in which one principle may be violated to comply with another principle. I think that, overall, I would prioritize principles based on what would promote the greatest good for people. I know there will be many situations where I will have to choose which ethical principles are most important, but I feel that I will choose the best option that will support the most of those ethical principles.
