    LESSON 4

    THE 7- STEP MORAL


    REASONING
    A THEORY BY MICHAEL DAVIS

    GROUP 5 ( ORANGE)
    In this module, we provide some guiding
    principles, and pathways to help guide ethical
    decision-making. These are a series of basic
    questions that should be asked when
    confronted with ethical dilemmas. These are
    often complex situations with no clear-cut
    resolution, and without a right or wrong answer.
    But these decision-making processes will go a
    long way towards helping all of us make
    informed decisions that can justify consequent
    actions.
    Lesson Objective
    At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

    1. Know each of the steps of the model


    theorized by Michael Davis;
    2. Be able to provide an example or make a
    scenario where this model can be applied in
    operative; and
    3. Apply the Davis model in cases where its
    principles can be appropriated.
    1. STATE THE PROBLEM
    The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT
    THERE IS AN EXISTING PROBLEM is
    crucial prior to its full determination . . . BY
    STATING THAT SOME THINGS HAVE TO
    BE FIXED, one is able to pinpoint to where
    the problem originates.

    For example, "there's something about this decision that


    makes me uncomfortable" or "do I have a conflict of
    interest?"
    2. ASCERTAIN THE FACTS
    Not all problems identified would be
    considered as legitimate problems. . .
    DIFFICULTIES RESULT FROM
    MISCOMMUNICATION . . .
    ASCERTAINING THE FACTS CLEAR OUT
    ALL THE DOUBTS PRESENT.
    3. IDENTIFY RELEVANT
    FACTS
    One has to CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE
    VARIABLES INVOLVED IN THE ISSUE.

    Ex: As a teacher, you have caught someone cheating. Upon


    doing the first two in the process, now you can check the
    name of the student, the degree/extent of his action, the
    specific rules that his action is based on in the handbook, all
    while also asking him about his side of the story
    4. DEVELOP A LIST OF OPTIONS
    DEVELOPING A LIST OF OPTIONS
    should LEAD TO A FOCUSED
    CHOICE… choosing effectively solves
    identified problem, therefore, IT MUST
    ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BOTH
    POSSIBLY AND PLAUSIBL
    5. TEST OPTIONS
    Returning to the old problem earlier,
    THERE ARE MYRIAD OF OPTIONS
    ONE CAN LOOK INTO BEFORE
    JUDGMENT. The following can be used
    as a test:
    .
    5. 1 VIRTUE TEST: If I were to ignore this, how does this reflect my own virtue?

    5. 2 HARM TEST: What will be the effect of the possibility of non-disclosure?

    5. 3 REVERSIBILITY TEST: Would I be also affected by it if I were in his/her


    position?
    5. 4 PROFESSIONAL TEST: How does my discipline or field see this action?
    5. 5 ORGANIZATION TEST: How does the organization or my institution
    observe the following problem?
    5. 6 COLLEAGUE TEST: How does my colleague see the same issue?

    5. 7 PUBLICITY TEST: How should this be treated publicly?

    5. 8 DEFENSIBILITY TEST: How could this issue be defended, and where?


    6. TENTATIVE CHOICES

    The first five steps lead you to


    make for yourself an INFORMED
    CHOICE THAT CAN STILL BE
    EVALUATED.
    7. FINAL DECISION
    The final choice is now set for a new ethical
    decision. . . HAPPENS UPON FURTHER
    EVALUATION OF THE STEPS. . . This also LEADS
    TO ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO A FURTHER WHOLE:
    SOCIETY and other INSTITUTIONS like the
    CHURCH.
