   Mapping Our Personal Ethics  (to a point) 
   
   Ethical Analysis Discussion 
  Below is a way to map one's ethical 
    construction. Our sense of ethics comes from a variety of people and 
    experiences. In the past I had students do a six-page analysis of their ethics, 
    but we're not going to do that this semester.
