When being presented with an ethical problem you have not previously encountered, what criteria will you use to determine your action?

In my opinion there are no real situations that we do not even have a grasp of. Situations that do not seem familiar occur, but our personal experience or the knowledge of someone else’s experience is present. The criteria I use are the values that I was taught since the young age.Ethical actions may differ for people that come from different backgrounds.

It really all depends on the situation. In most cases, the average human should do what is morally right at the time. Life over limb.
