Book Review: No Easy Answers

Abstract

Introduction:  As an expositional tool for students, this thoughtful publication hits the mark. For the ethics novice in particular, it equips the reader with some fundamental principles early on and then introduces a framework for using these principles to solve problems using the Resolvedd strategy of ethical decision making. In addition, it provides numerous cleverly designed and controversial case studies to ensure vigorous classroom debate or discussion. From a practical perspective, however, Ethics on the Job, doesn’t quite fully bridge the gap between theory and practice (as the title suggests) and could perhaps benefit from an injection of a few real world problems actually solved using the strategy to demonstrate the complexity of practical decision making.
