The Choice Challenge

Worksheet Description

“The Choice Challenge” worksheet presents students with four hypothetical scenarios, each posing a moral or ethical dilemma. It prompts students to select one scenario and decide between two possible actions, neither of which is entirely desirable. The dilemmas range from personal relationship issues, such as discovering a friend’s infidelity, to legal and moral questions, like being asked to invest in a suspicious business or dealing with a shoplifting teenager. Students are instructed to explain their chosen course of action and the rationale behind their decision.

This worksheet aims to teach students the concept of ethical decision-making by placing them in realistic scenarios where they must choose between two tough options. It encourages students to analyze complex situations, weigh the pros and cons, and consider the consequences of their actions for themselves and others. Through this exercise, students develop critical thinking and moral reasoning skills. The worksheet also helps students to understand that real-life decisions often involve navigating through shades of gray rather than clear-cut right and wrong choices.
