"Taking a look back from the last six weeks, I would like to say I have learned a lot about myself in my professional and personal life. Before taking this course, I had never really reflected on my own ethical frameworks and how I make decisions, and I am greatly appreciative of this course. I now understand how I prefer to take steps on making an ethical decision and will continue to use these frameworks in both my workplace and personal life." -anonymous
