Ethical decisions are always challenging because it can be difficult for a person to evaluate their attitude or action so that it does not cause condemnation from society or themself. Society is developing; new cultures are emerging that mix with others, and a large number of resonant events appear that split society in half. The world is volatile, where unrest, waves, protests, and terrorist attacks occur. Through this work, I would like to talk about who or what influences my ethical decision-making and assess the consequences.
When making an ethical decision, two different perceptions of the situation arise in a person’s head, and choosing the opinion that seems closer to the person is essential. The first perception of the situation translates to how we were brought up in the family and what views and opinions are integrated into our consciousness. The second perception reflects how a person brought himself up. A dissonance is going on in my head that puts me in a difficult position in very controversial situations. I try to rely on the point of view of people who have experience, the necessary knowledge, and critical decision. Such people strongly influenced me in many ways, but I want to note that I voluntarily chose them as my support. Thanks to these people, I cultivate the necessary qualities for a successful existence within society. I don’t copy their behavior model because every trait of this person may be close to mine, and I also take a critical approach to their views.
Understanding and accepting that our opinion may not always coincide with the public demand is essential, which is normal. There are situations when I want to act differently, but there is an awareness that this contradicts my beliefs, which I do not consider bad. It is normal to follow other people’s behavior, but raising their opinion to the absolute is not necessary. Critical analysis is essential in making any ethical decision; this is the thing that a person should form and develop in himself independently.
