A teacher reportedly makes 1,500 educational decisions and up to 35,000 daily decisions. However, the focus isn't on the quantity but the quality of these decisions, defined by ethics.
Ethics serves as a tool to differentiate between good and bad decisions. It is connected to philosophy, logic, and critical thinking, helping us answer the practical question: 'What should we do?'
Our values and morals shape our decisions. Ethics helps define good choices and identify the best options. Values, such as honesty, friendship, justice, and knowledge, are what we believe to be good.
While values tell us what is good, morals help us determine the right ways to achieve what we value. The ambiguities inherent in real-life situations make ethical decision-making complex.
