Through the teachings in this course, there are two models that were introduced that helps solves ethical problems in an organization. These two models are the Ethics Toolkit (The Plus Decision Making Model) and Ruddell’s Model. Ruddell discusses in his book the importance of solving ethical problems and how the application of the Christian model is important. He states that it’s just not enough to have principles laid out neatly, but we must also apply these principles in real situations (Ruddell, p. 115, 2014). Developing steps for solving ethical problems gives you a plan of attack, insures that you have a consistent approach which should reduce liability, and gives individuals a sense of knowing that standards are more important than personal…show more content… Ruddell seeks to demonstrate the consistency of solving these issues with seven steps.

The next couple steps in my approach would involve eliminating unacceptable solutions, then I would asses which values are which values are upheld and violated by each solution. The final step in my approach I would evaluate the possible solutions and consider the likely impacts and the values which will be upheld or violated and then I will make a decision and state clearly on why it is the best
