Circular%20Library_edited.jpg

​

Understanding ethical theories and framework provide interpreters with established points of view when faced with making a decision. Decision-making is rarely about situations that are right vs. wrong. They are frequently right vs. right situations. Ethical theories and frameworks provide interpreters with guidance for the myriad of decision-making situations they confront on a daily basis.  As Warren Buffett said, "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it." Having established points of views to filter decisions through ensure an interpreter's reputation is long standing.
