As we discussed, the question of whether a decision is ethical or not is an important aspect of the decision-making process. In group decision making, sometimes the diffusion of responsibility can lead a group to make an extreme and unethical decision because the responsibility for it is spread over all group members. With this in mind, consider the following issues:
• To what extent to you believe each member of the group is aware that collectively, they might be making an unethical decision?
• What steps could be taken to make individual group members be more outspoken in suggesting a possible course of action is unethical?
