Activity: 7 Steps Moral Reasoning Model
First Situation: (My friend is planning to quit his job)
Gather the Facts:
A man is planning to quit his job because he feels that that the environment there is not healthy for his mental health, but he needs money.
Determine the social issue:
It's about the importance of a healthy work environment with their employer. He has to choose between his health and his financial needs.
Determine what virtues/principles have a bearing on the case:
It's about self-care, prioritizing the self first, and having the courage to leave his work and look for another job since the environment at his work is not good for his mental health.
List the alternatives :
•My friend could stay on his job if he tried to get used to the environment in their workplace. • He could find another job where he is happy, and he has peace of mind.
Compare the alternatives with virtues/principles:
If he will stay in his job, his situation might get worse in the long run. But if he will quit he current job there is also a possibility that he will find a job where he can fulfill his financial needs and most importantly is happy and the environment in his new workplace is healthy and not suffocating him.
Consider the consequences:
If he stays in this job, he may develop mental health issues due to the environment. However, if he changes to a job that suits him better, this can improve his mental health and earn more money.
Decision Making: Because it would affect his mental health, he decided to resign from his job. He looked for and moved to another job that suited him, wouldn't damage his mental health, and offered a higher income."
Second Situation: (Personal Experience)
My friend is stuck in a toxic relationship that's destroying her. The emotional
manipulation, verbal abuse, and control are taking a toll on her well-being
Gathering the facts:
Over the past few months, I've listened attentively to a friend's rant about her relationship with her partner. She's shared instances of emotional manipulation, verbal abuse, and controlling behavior. I've observed firsthand how these toxic dynamics have taken a toll on my friend's mental and emotional well-being, causing her significant distress and unhappiness. During our conversations, I've gently probed deeper, asking her about specific incidents that are causing her pain and highlighting how unhealthy and damaging it is to stay in such a toxic relationship.
Determining the social issues:
The social issue at hand is her well-being and safety, as well as the broader impact of toxic relationships on individuals and their support networks. Hurting her and showing toxic traits towards her is totally a morally wrong doing. It's crucial to address her situation with compassion and empathy while also considering the potential consequences of staying in or leaving the toxic relationship.
Determining what virtues and principles have a bearing on the case:
Virtues such as compassion, empathy, honesty, and integrity are paramount in this situation. It's essential to support my friend in recognizing her worth, encouraging her to prioritize her well-being, and promoting healthy relationships based on mutual respect and trust.
Listing the alternatives: Alternatives include:
• Tell her to think about everything she has experienced, so that she can set her boundaries and leave that toxic relationship with her partner. • Talk to her partner and tell him he's totally toxic.
Comparing the alternatives with the virtues and principles:
When comparing the two alternatives, encouraging her to set boundaries and leave the toxic relationship appears to be the more effective and sustainable option. While confronting the partner about his behavior might provide temporary relief or clarity, it does not address the underlying issue of her well-being and the toxic dynamics of the relationship. Empowering her to prioritize her own needs and remove herself from the harmful situation is the most compassionate and supportive approach in the long term.
Considering the consequences:
Encouraging her to leave the toxic relationship may lead to initial discomfort and uncertainty, but it ultimately promotes her emotional growth and well-being. On the other hand, confronting her partner about his behavior could result in tension and conflict within the relationship, with no guarantee of positive change.
Making a decision: After carefully considering the alternatives and their potential consequences, I determine that the best course of action is to have a compassionate and honest conversation with my friend about my concerns regarding her relationship. It's been months since she finally ended everything with her toxic partner, and I've witnessed firsthand how she's blossomed since then. She's truly enjoying herself and rediscovering her passions and interests. It's heartwarming to see her embrace her true personality and flourish in ways she couldn't while in the toxic relationship.
Third Situation: (Personal Experience)
We caught our friend who is a teacher having an affair with his student and impregnated her.
Gather Facts: Some of the students and the teacher’s saw the student leaving in the room sweating and some instances the other teacher is knocking on his office, when he open the door they saw the student. Just the two of them, with the teacher looking so anxious and afraid while sweating.
Determine the social issue:
All of us knew that having an affair with student and cheating is a morally wrong thing to do.
Determine what virtues/ principles have a bearing on the case:
Based on the law it is not the right and it’s unlawful to flirt or have an affair with a student knowing the girl she’s just 17 when the thing started. He also did cheat to his partner which is also stated in the bible to be wrong and a sin.
List the Alternatives:
1.) Tell to our other friend who is the girlfriend and clueless, about what happened. 2.) Report it to the authorities 3.) Confront the girl and smack her face
Compare the alternatives with the virtues/ principles:
If we tell our friend she will be hurt but it is the right thing to do. Reporting it to the authorities is also applicable because he violated a law which is punishable. Smacking the face of the student is the most voted thing for us to do but we are afraid because she is pregnant. We don’t want the baby to die.
Consider the consequences:
Telling the truth to the victim which is our friend, will be a great relief to her but will also cause a huge damage mentally and emotionally. Not telling the truth will save them both from stress but will also cause a more major problem if the teacher will continue the affair with the student.
Make a decision: We did the right thing, we told her the truth, at first she was hesitant to believe but we insisted not to confront them first we need to gather evidences first. Which we did, we stalked the students social media accounts and we saw the car we used to go on coffee dates and staycation and the tumbler given to him by our friend. All in the featured photos of the students. We are all shocked to know that it is not the first time he did this, he also did one night stand with his ex. That’s why we told our ate which is the victim to end terms with him which she did and we cut him off. Now the student gave birth to their first child they’re not married because the family of guy don’t want to. Only the family of the student insists for them to get married. Now our friend who’s a nurse is having the best time of her life.
