"Three steps to moral growth
Based on my research, here are some guidelines to help you make more moral decisions and continue growing and learning as an ethical person...
1. Plan for ethical challenges. Since other people play a significant role in our morality, one place to start is to find an ethics mentor...
2. Bring awareness to a moral challenge in the moment. There is a lot of evidence of “moral fading,” where we simply don’t pay attention to the moral implications of our decisions...
3. Use reflection to learn from moral challenges. To be ethical doesn’t mean being perfect all the time, but it does mean being dedicated to learning. When you make a mistake, you can reflect in order to learn and do better in the future. To adopt an ethical learning orientation, ask yourself, “What can I do to be a better person?”"
