Abstract:

What is the right thing to do in an ethical situation Ethics is nothing more than looking at a problem, determine if its wrong, and then making the right decision based on our values. Ethics comes from our own childhood background. The army teaches us, to deal with our ethical situations through discipline, standards and decisions to use the army values as our guide. Values are another tool that our parents instill in us, but our parents also had a tremendous influence over how we rate these values. This rating is the single best or at times the single worst factor when trying to make the right ethical decision. I believe the first step a leader must take is to understand that all the army values are of equal importance, only then can we make the best ethical decision.
