4. Personal Reflection: How is this formal decision-making model similar and/or different from your intuitive thought process? Did the steps of the model alert you to anything unique that you might not have considered otherwise?
Ethics Vignette Paper:
(Please use the Step-wise Decision-Making Model to determine the outcome)
One day, Jane, a human service employee at MHC (a mental health clinic in your area) showed up to work a few minutes late. She rushed past the front desk clerk, Henry, and noticed that several client files had fallen on the ground and were scattered on the floor behind his desk. Given her tardiness, she stepped over the files and lightly kicked them back toward Henry’s desk so he would see them after he was finished checking a patient into the clinic. As an added precaution, Jane decided to send Henry an email from her Gmail account on her phone to let him know to clean the files up around his desk. As Jane walked into the meeting, she sent this email to Henry: “Hey Henry! Probably want to be sure you pick those up, so their private information is not seen by anyone else. Let us grab lunch later today!” As Jane finished off the email, she leaned over to you (her co-worker) and told you the above scenario. You immediately have some concerns about some of these behaviors. If you could pause time and implement the Step-Wise decision-making model, what would that look like?
