Kidder's ethical checkpoints are going to be applied to analyze the case of Mike Nolan's ethical decision. The recognized problem in this case is that a passenger suffered a heart attack, so Nolan must decide whether to follow Denver's orders or demand a medevac landing. Kidder's second checkpoint is determining the actor. The actor tasked with solving the problem is pilot Mike Nolan. The secondary players would be the crew and passengers on board the flight. The third checkpoint is for Nolan to gather the relevant facts of this case. In this case, the facts are that a passenger suffered a heart attack. There is a doctor on board who recommends immediate medical attention to the passenger. The plane is in the middle of a storm and Denver has refused permission for an emergency landing. Landing is not recommended and dangerous for the crew and passengers, knowing that the flight is full. There is a crew member who does not agree with the plane landing. Nolan has 27 years of flying experience, including 18 years flying these particular aircraft. Although problems of good versus evil are common, very difficult decisions usually arise because both sides of a dilemma are rooted in values ​​and, in many ways, right. . For example, if one option in a decision is identified as “good” and another as “bad,” we find that most people would choose to do what is right. (Placeholder1) After considering the facts, Nolan will have to test the issues of right and wrong in this dilemma. He will look within himself to look for the stink test, the headline test, and the mom test. It will be up to Nolan's character to decide if his decision will violate any of the criteria. The next step...... middle of paper ...... courage in a world of dilemmas. School Administrator, 59(2), 14-18,20.Larsen, DE (2002).
