Fortunately, there is a method, a process, for strengthening the capacity to make ethical decisions.  It’s called the Ethical Fitness® Seminar.  It's a form of critical thinking that's applicable just as well with young children as seasoned adults. 

  

The conversation regarding ethical values is often cast solely in terms of right versus wrong choices. As tough as it may be to do the right thing, there is generally agreement as to what
the right thing is to do. The reality is that most of our life is not about “either / or.”

Think of a really tough decision you, your students, or your organization had to make in
the past. It probably pitted two equally valid options against each other--two rights, seemingly
in competition.

• Do I tell the truth or remain loyal? 
• What’s going to happen in the future for me or the organization if this is done now?
• Is this going to put me or the organization at risk even though it will help others?
• Compassion suggests we do otherwise, so do we have to enforce the rules?  

By the end of the day, performance will be the result of a well-thought-out process based
on shared core values.
