Question Discussion Marks
1. Select an ethical principle, or
short piece of ethical
easoning that you applied
during two or more case study
analyses this Trimester.
Use a few sentences to
describe the principle/piece of
easoning, and what following
the principle would look like in
practice.
Describe a situation in your
everyday life where the
principle could help guide your
actions. (The situation might or
might not seem particularly
‘ethical’.)
LO1, LO4
Suggestions for discussion:
• The key normative claim from one of the
three main ethical theories of the course
(Consequentialism; Deontology; Virtue Ethics)
• A general principle
e.g. ‘Do no harm’;
e.g. The Golden Rule: ‘Treat others as you
would be treated’
10
2. Nominate EITHER a weekly
topic from MAN202 that you
particularly enjoyed studying
OR a weekly topic that you
initially found difficult to
understand.
What made the topic
enjoyable or challenging?
Can you imagine a workplace
situation (present or future)
where you might need to apply
what you learned that week?
LO1, LO4
For the purposes of this question, you are not being
scored on how ‘easy’ or ‘difficult’ you found a topic to
learn.
Instead, you are being scored for your efforts to trace
you ‘learning journey’ for one of the course topics.
Sometimes, we learn more from those topics we
struggled to learn, rather than topics that initially
seemed easy. This is because a ‘difficult’ topic can
only be mastered by replacing our existing ideas with
more complex intellectual schemas. Once mastered,
these more complex schemas can have a lasting
influence upon our behaviour.
10
3. Describe one or more
measures that you intend to
put in place to ensure that you
live up to your personal values
in the workplace.
LO1, LO3, LO4
Here you are being asked to reflect upon the Week 11
topic (developing Moral Imagination; and Putting My
Values into Practice).
