Systematic Moral Analysis Guide

Systematic moral analysis is a tool to help think through ethically complex situations by determining who may be harmed and how, considering alternative actions, and avoiding negative consequences. It involves conceptualizing potential harms, justifying actions to minimize harm, and encouraging consideration of alternative courses of action. Bernard Gert developed 10 moral rules to help identify questionable acts, such as not killing, causing pain, or deceiving others. While systematic moral analysis does not provide one right answer, it helps fully evaluate situations to make better, less harmful decisions.

Systematic moral analysis is a tool that helps us to think through ethically complex
situations. The process of systematic moral analysis as described in is predicated on
moral rule violations, which result in harm to another person or persons. And it can
also help us analyze the ethical dimensions of a complex
situation after the fact. To learn more about the different types of harms and when
harm is justified. Rationalizations can play a major role in the process of systematic
moral analysis, often to defend unethical or questionable practices.

Systematic Moral Analysis is conceptualization, which involves determining who


might be harmed and how.
If no one is likely to be harmed, then there’s no ethical problem. But how do we
really know if we’re about to cause harm? Twentieth Century Philosopher Bernard
Gert developed a list of 10 moral rules that can help us identify ethically questionable
acts. Do not kill, Do not cause pain, Do not disable, Do not deprive of freedom or
opportunity, Do not deprive of pleasure, Do not deceive, Keep your promises, Do not
cheat, Obey the law and lastly Do your duty. Systematic Moral Analysis is
justification, which helps determine whether breaking a moral rule prevents a greater
harm from occurring or whether the harm you are causing legitimately addresses a
more significant harm that was already caused. So, getting an “F” on the exam
because you cheated is an example of you being harmed "failed" for causing a more
significant harm "cheating". The goal of justification is to determine the action that
causes the least harm to others, Can withstand public scrutiny and would be ethically
permissible for anyone in a similar situation. Systematic Moral Analysis encourages
us to consider alternative courses of action that would minimize harm. For example,
you could tip off the professor anonymously and suggest that he consider re-writing
the exam. Or you could ask the professor to distribute the old test to everyone in the
class. That way, no student would have an unfair advantage. And, it would give
everyone a chance to know what the professor thinks is
most important. Systematic Moral Analysis doesn’t provide one right answer, but it
does help us fully evaluate a situation, think through possible courses of action, and
avoid negative consequences that might not have occurred to us at the start. Ethics

Systematic Moral Analysis talks about who will be harmed and how can be it
harm to others and also can help us to make a better decisions. However this will help
ourself think twice or more before we start actions and provides moral analysis to
determine the person who will harm. To the help of Systematic Moral Analysis it can
aware everyone that we can harmed others through social media and cheating in class.

Example cheating causes harm because the cheater gains an advantage over other
participants in the activity, by violating the rules that everyone is expected to follow.
Otherwise think the possible solution that you cannot harm other by providing a
reviewer and study before taking exam because of that you can't violate the rules.
Think the best solution to avoid harm to others.

Also this will help us to analyze different situations and it provides a better
understanding in doing actions. Be the best version of yourself do not harm others or
you will harm by others.
