Abstract

Ethicists are of two minds about the cause of ethical failures. One side says, immoral decisions stem from “mistakes about its content and its scope (Price, 19).” In other words, ethical failure is a function of cognition; it stems from the agent’s lack of understanding of the ethical dilemma, stakeholders, available options, and their consequences. The other side believes that unethical decisions happen because agents prioritize their self-interests above anything else, most especially above those of the group for which they are responsible. They have no difficulty distinguishing the good from the bad choices and, yet, willingly choose the latter. In other words, ethical misdeed is volitional.
