The purpose of this professional development session is for you to better understand why we must follow the rules that are set for us, as we work in the child care field. To better understand how to base your decision-making process on what is called the duty-based ethical theory. First, you need to understand all three of the ethical theories that we might use each day to help us in our decision-making process. They are consequentialism, duty-based, and agent-based.

I know I that I personally always stay true to this rule, it is part of my moral code to be clean, no matter how big of a hurry I am in. It is import to me because I understand that it helps the stopping of spread of germs and illness.

Glo Germ is a visual aid that; “When used in either the powder or liquid-based form, with the use of an ultra-violet light, it simulates the spread of germs, teaching how quickly and broadly germs can be spread in a short period of time” (Glo Germ, n.d.). I would like all of you to “wash” your hands with the Glo Germ and then let’s go to the bathroom. Once in there, wash and dry your hands like you would do at any other time. Then we will look at your hands with a black light to see how well you have washed. Any “germs” that are left on your hands will glow under the black light. How well did you wash? Now think about how well the children wash and all the potential germs that are on them. Let’s take this thought a bit further and think about how many objects the children touch with those “clean”

Kerridge et.al (2009), developed an ethical decision making model made up of seven steps to guide a social worker to identify both ethical issues and to evaluate the values of the identified issues (Kerridge et.al, 2009). This model is applied to the three options that are elaborated and illustrated in Appendix’s B. C. and D. The first step in the model is to ‘clearly state the problem’ which is the argument of self-determination and own wishes versus Sophie’s mother’s wishes and the law. This elicits questions such as ‘Is a sixteen year old girl mature enough to make the decision of termination?’

Contemporary ethics focus on “What we should do”, instead of “What kind of person we should do”.
