Proactive vs Reactive Decisions
![Page 7: The Art of Living Courageously - Week 6: Courageous Decision Making](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062900/58ceaa1e1a28abb26e8b6d3f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Reactive Decisions
❖ Ethical dilemmas (right vs right):❖ Truth vs loyalty❖ Individual vs community❖ Short-term vs long-term❖ Justice vs mercy
Can we predict which will take precedence?
![Page 8: The Art of Living Courageously - Week 6: Courageous Decision Making](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062900/58ceaa1e1a28abb26e8b6d3f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ways to Break an Ethical Dilemma
❖ Ends-based thinking (utilitarianism, teleological)❖ Greatest good to the greatest number (over the
greatest period of time)❖ Rule-based thinking (Kantian, deontological)
❖ If everybody acted as I am about to act, would that serve the greatest good?
❖ Care-based thinking❖ Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you

Was Kidder’s analysis helpful?

–Peter Senge
“People with high levels of personal mastery… cannot afford to choose between reason and
intuition, or head and heart, any more than they would choose to walk on one leg or see with one
eye.”
