I believe that thinking more clearly about ethical issues and moral dilemmas has the potential to help me do the right things. Thinking more clearly about ethical issues and moral dilemmas will prepare one to make the right decisions when there is a need to make decisions (Fitch, 2011). It will ensure that the individual is well aware of the ethical situation and requirements to be applied to make good decisions that will be the right thing to do.
