Question
Utilitarian ethics clearly connect individuals with their larger community, but at the individual level, they are not completely unlike the care-based ethics presented in the Three Primary Schools model. Care-based ethics enjoys a kind of reciprocity between people in which decision-makers can imagine themselves as the object of the decision as well as the subject of the decision-making process. At the same time, and perceiving themselves in dual roles in the dilemma, this process of ethics can become very subjective for decision-makers who can confuse what is good for others with what they perceive as good for themselves.
Explain a time that you encountered a care-based ethical situations. What was your role? What was the resolution?
Explanation / Answer
The dilemma that I faced was when I had to take the decision of recruiting new people from outside the agency and I communicated this too my co workers in the organization.They were not too happy with it since they were expecting internal recruitments for higher posts. Honestly,even I was aganist this decision and moreover this responsibility was on me and this could hamper my work and my position as well. I did not wanted to take the decision of getting new people from outside because this decision could be threatening for me as well and my position. But ultimately,I did resolve it by convincing the heads that internal recruitments would be more cost effective and motivating for the employees to stay in the organization.I told them showing concern for your employees welfare and growth is important for company's growth as well,this in turn proved advantageous for the decision maker as well,i.e.me and I got promoted.
