Questions for Ethical Decision-Making

How often do any of us stop to ask ourselves 10 questions before we make a decision? My guess is that none of us do this very often. However, according to Bob Steele on the site Poynteronline, successful journalists need to ask themselves 10 questions if they are facing a moral or ethical dilemma.

I agree with the author in that it is important to take time to weigh decisions. I think decisions are made quickly in this fast-paced world. Sometimes it's best to make quick decisions, especially if you are in an environment like journalism. However, I also think there is a place for questions like this, especially if what you are doing could affect your own career and the lives of others.
