(CEFET-MG - 2013) The following text was published on the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics website at Santa Clara University. Its a short article. Read it and answer question(s). E Is for Everyday Ethics By Margaret R. McLean When was the first time you had to choose between right and wrong, between telling the truth or whispering a lie? What was it that first tweaked your sense of fair play a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie not quite divided in half, being too little to try-out for the ball team? When was the first time 4you cried, Its not fair!? It really is hard to imagine a time when we werent trying to be good or, at least, trying to avoid being caught in that little lie. It really is hard to imagine a time when we werent doing ethics. Everyday, 3we face ethical dilemmas, those moments when we think: Should I? Shouldnt I? Ethics we can either do it well or do it badly. There seem to be as many definitions of ethics as there are ethicists. The one that has caught my eye recently is: Ethics is individuals working together as a community to be at their best. This simple statement acknowledges what we all know to be true about life that we are in this alone and we are in this together. We are individuals deciding, choosing, living, dying. But, we are also members of communities family, neighborhood, church, society. As individuals, we focus on will and choice I decide what I am going to do. As members of communities, we see that the results of our choices affect others my decision to lie is wrong because it hurts others as well as myself. Ethics asks us to reflect on what 1it means to be at our best both in our individual lives and in our relationships. What does it take to be caring and committed people and communities? Every day, we decide who we are truthful or dishonest? Every day, our actions have consequences helpful or hurtful? Every day, we either build up or tear down relationships. We tend to think of ethics as coming into view only in congressional investigations or intensive care units. But, in reality, we practice ethics every day; we work together to be at our best or our worst every day. Cloning, assisted suicide, lying to Congress 2these catch the headlines. Munching on unpaid-for grapes in the market, cheating on an exam or taxes, telling 5that little white lie these catch our lives every day. Margaret R. McLean is director of health care and biotechnology ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
