Ethical Decision Making

MODULE 4

This module explores how ethics shape human behavior and decision-making. Learners will examine key ethical principles, how they differ from religion, and how they guide real-world choices through case studies like The Long Now Foundation and fair division. A final role-playing activity helps participants apply these ideas in practice, building skills for thoughtful, ethically grounded decision-making.

This module created by Dr. Michael Kent of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, consists of two lessons:

  1. Where Do Ethics Come From?
  2. Ethics & Decision Making
