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 reasoning, 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
eing 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
ehavior.
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 12 topic (Living up to one’s values).
