Personal question · Ethics, Self-awareness
Permitted, but not quite right
Rules, permissions and common practice tell us what we can do, but they don't always settle what we should do. Sometimes a choice is fully allowed, even expected by the people around us, and it still leaves us uneasy once we think about who it affects.
The two questions
- 1Describe a time you realized that something you were permitted to do didn't sit right with you. What made you uneasy, and how did you decide what to do?
- 2Tell us about a time you made a choice that was within the rules and later wished you had acted differently. What did that experience teach you about how you make decisions?
