The rest´s model of moral action is the one in which it is explain the four components of the ethical reason processes of individuals. It tries to explain the perception of people over what is good or bad and the cognitive process whereby the person go step by step to the end that is act ethical or unethical. To see briefly and clearly in an example, let´s talk about Osama and the 9/11 incident. Let´s suppose that the Dilemma of Osama was that: if he commit the attack, he is going to generate the third world war between his country and the world power United States, but if he do not commit the attack, his group Al Qaeda was going to removed him from the power, because he could be seeing as a weak terrorist (Ethical Sensitivity). Then he began judge the parts involve and the damage to the welfare of others, that can be to the enemies or to his pakistan village with the decision over the Dilemma he had (Prescriptive Reasoning). After that, he take a look insight him and think over his own values and believes, and also about his intentions with this act(Deliberative Reasoning), moreover if he has the intention to act after that process of think over it. Finally, he act after this whole cognitive process, doing it as a common behaviour or as an ethical act (Good or Right Vs Bad) that is the final step (Ethical Character).

  1. Julio, I think you are taking a high risk by making this case an example for ethical desicion making.I actually do not agree with the examples of ethical sensitivity, prescriptive reasoning, and so on. Nevertheless I gave you freedom of speech so I am going to respect that.One of the main objectives of this course is to develop cultural sensitivity in students. Please remember that words can start wars...so we better be careful of what we think and say...
