- an international conference and communication initiative aiming to strengthen the ethical foundation of sport J Boxhill (2003). Sport Ethics: An Anthology. Blackwell, Oxford. Ethics and values build true sport – Unit 2: Using an Ethical Decision Making Framework Level: Adaptable for Years 9 through 12. Subject: The following Unit aligns to key knowledge statements in: Some senior Physical Education curriculum (theory of moral development). Some senior Religion and Society curriculum (ethical method in a pluralistic society). LESSON OVERVIEW Ethical dilemmas arise when you have to choose between two things you believe are right and good, or where you need to make a choice between two things you don’t prefer at all (because there is no better option available). The classic ethical dilemmas involve choosing between truth and loyalty, individuals and community, short and long-term outcomes or between justice and mercy. Ethical decision making is a process that involves building awareness of content’ ‘ethical such as values, principles and beliefs your defining purpose and an understanding of your own morals. It is also something that involves reflection, self-management, judgment and action. Making good ethical decisions requires a trained sensitivity to ethical issues and having a practiced method for working through your choices. This Unit aims to build students’ ethical strength and muscles, so they not only become literate about ethics in terms of understanding the logic, reasoning and psychology behind the choices we make on various matters, but also understand how to arrive at ethical decisions, and then practice voicing and enacting those choices in their sport (and lives). LEARNING Understand the process of ethical decision making. Evaluate why ethical decision making is important to the integrity of sport. Understand some reasons and rationalisations that make a person choose to act contrary to their values and principles. Explore the components of an ethical decision making framework. Apply an ethical decision making framework to a scenario to determine a course of action and identify potential ramifications of the decision. KEY QUESTIONS Why are some decisions harder to make than others?
