Think creatively about potential actions

● Be sure you have not been unnecessarily forced into a corner ● You may have some choices or alternatives that have not been considered ● If you have come up with solutions "a" and "b," try to brainstorm and come up with a "c" solution that might satisfy the interests of the primary parties involved in the situation.

Decide on the proper ethical action and be prepared to deal with opposing arguments

● Consider potential actions based on the consequences, obligations, and character approaches. ● Do you come up with similar answers from the different perspectives? ● Do the obligation and character help you "check" the consequentialist preferred action? ● How can you protect the rights of those involved (or your own character) while still maximizing the overall good for all of the parties?
