For this assignment, you will test out a different ethical approach. Consider the options presented in Chapter 2 once again, and choose an approach which you did not explore in the Unit 3 assignment. Then, write a paper that responds to the following questions:

State the ethical approach you selected. Explain why.
Imagine someone had worked to resolve the ethical issue (the same one you discussed in the Unit 3 assignment), this time using the approach you have just described. What would be involved in using this approach?
Compare this to what you described in the Unit 3 assignment. What might have happened differently if a person used this approach?
Explain how this alternate approach might have been beneficial. To whom? In what ways might it have caused problems?

Support your choices with cited concepts from course readings.
