Principles of ethical
behaviour.
Justice.
Beneficence/Non-maleficence. Respect for others.
And from Svinicki (2002, p. 317)
Fidelity? Upholding parts of a relationship. Overlap. Autonomy? Covered by respect for others.
Acting consciously? (i.e., Reflexivity) Implied if thinking about the 3 principles above.

Principles of ethical behaviour … cntd.
Justice. Is this morally right?
Beneficence / non-maleficence. Respectively,
these mean „doing good‟ and “avoiding harm”.
We should maximize benefits and minimize
physical, emotional, economic and
environmental harms and discomfort.
Am I doing harm?
Respect for others. Individuals must be
regarded as autonomous agents and anyone of
diminished autonomy (e.g. intellectuallydisabled) should be protected. It is important to
have consideration for the welfare, beliefs,
rights, heritage and customs of people involved.
Am I showing respect
for others?

Contradictory normative positions underpin
Western ethics.
Teleological(consequentialist)
approaches.
Balance of good over evil.
Consequences.
Deontological approaches. Let justice be done though
the heavens fall.”
Promises.
It would be inappropriate to violate
and make public the secret and
sacred ‘women’s knowledge’ of
an Australian Aboriginal
community to prevent the
construction of a bridge through
the sacred places associated
with that knowledge.
It would not be appropriate -
even if non-disclosure
meant that construction of
the bridge would destroy
the sacred places
associated with that
knowledge.

A problem with Jomkwan.
Statements of Assessment Methods provided toall students at the beginning of the classGEOG1000 make it clear that no student mayresubmit any assignment for second assessment.
After some deliberation, you assign Jomkwan a marginal fail grade(say, 48%) for a major assignment. She is a diligent student but shehas simply failed to grasp key concepts. You know from her overallrecord in the class that this single result means she cannot pass theclass overall.
Jomkwan approaches you to advise that this grade means that shecannot complete her degree before scholarship and visa terminate.She is distraught and makes it clear will have to return to Thailandwith no degree, no job prospects with her sponsor, and considerable
shame for her and her family.

Deontologist – youmade a promise to allclass members. Youcannot reassessJomkwan‟s work.
No easy answer.That is why it is adilemma.
Consequentialist –
relatively little harm
will be done to otherstudents if Jomkwan‟s
work is reassessed.
Considerable harm to
Jomkwan if she is notgiven the opportunity
to resubmit her work.
