Ethical Principles • The Golden Rule: Putting yourself into the place of others and thinking of yourself as the object of decision can help you think about fairness in decision making. • Universalism: If an action is not right for all situations, then it is not right for any specific situation • Slippery Slope: If the action cannot be taken repeatedly, then it is not right to take at all.

  4. Ethical Principles • Collective Utilitarian Principle: Take the action that achieves the greater value for all of society. • Risk Aversion: Take the action that produces the least harm, or the least potential cost. • Perfect Information Rule: Assume that results of your decision on a matter will be the subject of the lead article in the national daily the next day.
