A Framework for Ethical Decision
Making
Question yourself:
Could this decision or situation be damaging to
someone or to some group?
Does this decision involve a choice between a goodand bad alternative, or perhaps between two
"goods" or between two "bads"?

Consistency and Ethics
Consistencythe absence of contradictionshas sometimes
been called the hallmark of ethics. Ethics is supposed to
provide us with a guide for moral living, and to do so it must
be rational, and to be rational it must be free of contradictions
Ethics requires consistency in the sense that our moral
standards, actions, and values should not be contradictory.
Examining our lives to uncover inconsistencies and then
modifying our moral standards and behaviors so that they are
consistent is an important part of moral development.

Concept of work in Vedanta
Work is here considered as an exercise of energy.
A living being has no alternative but to beworking- physically or mentally.
A non working body is a dead body. A man has towork to realize that divinity residing in him.
An Indian does not work for a livelihood only, buthe considers it as his duty( Sadhana), as Indianphilosophy teaches that every work you performcan only be an offering to that divine in you.
The view of work in Vedanta is different.
