• A brief description of the cause or situation surrounding the need to make a decision.
• A description of how you came to make the decision you did.
• Identify which ethical theory best fit your decision-making process at the time.
• List the values reflected in the decision you made.
• Now that you have studied ethics, would you have used a different ethical theory to make that decision?

Conclude with your essay by answering the following general questions:

• Is there one ethical theory that you seem to follow most of the time?
• Why do you think this is?
