ABSTRACT

Our actions affect not only ourselves, but many others � some immediately involved in the situation, others removed by distance or time; animals and the environment, and even larger entities such as organizations and society in general. We consider primary and secondary stakeholders as well as human and non-human. Expanding our lens provides an opportunity for morale re-engagement by identifying victims and consequences of our actions. Exercises and case study discussions allow the reader to put themselves in someone else�s shoes, reduce the impact of bias by employing Rawls� veil of ignorance, and consider if our actions could become a rule for others to follow, as suggested by Kant�s categorical imperative. A final consideration is given to role conflict, describing situations in which we find we have competing responsibilities to multiple people or organizations.
