Ethical Perspective PaperIn the ethical decision making, three components are involved. The components are Awareness, Articulation and Application. Awareness is the knowledge of the ethical perspective, based on which, one makes good ethical choices. Articulation is the ability to explain one's principles or perspective to others (William Institute, p. 1). Application is a process in which one follows the ethical principles on daily basis both professionally and personally.
The Ethics Awareness Inventory (EAI) is based on the awareness component of the ethical decision making. The EAI helps to develop one's awareness and understand the four CORE principles.

For instance, if one of the employees, even by mistake, failed to follow the safety rules and injure someone then I have...
