  10. POLITICS PLAY A ROLE IN ETHICAL DECISION MAKING “Politics is the peaceful resolution of conflict among legitimate competing interests.” “At its best, politics can make a world where the powerful are more just and the poor more secure.” - Shields, 2006

  11. WHEN EVALUATING A DILEMMA Rely on the ethical standards as documentation and proof.
