===Principles=== Principles are ethical philosophies or modes of ethical reasoning that may be applicable to the situation. By considering the values stated above from several ethical philosophies, the decision-maker is better equipped to understand the situation. The following are some of the ethical philosophies that may be utilized under this segment of Potter's Box: * '''Aristotle's Golden Mean'''. [[Aristotle]]'s Golden Mean defines moral virtue as a middle state determined by practical wisdom that emphasizes moderation and temperance. * '''Confucius' Golden Mean'''. [[Confucius]]' Golden Mean is more commonly known as the compromise principle and says moral virtue is the appropriate location between two extremes. * '''Kant's Categorical Imperative'''. [[Immanuel Kant|Kant]]'s Categorical Imperative dictates that you must do unto others what you would want them to do unto you, or to act as if your personal decisions and actions could become universal law. * '''Mill's Principle of Utility'''. [[John Stuart Mill]]'s Principle of Utility dictates that we must seek the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. * '''Rawls' Veil of Ignorance'''. [[John Rawls]]' Veil of Ignorance asks us to assume we don't know which stakeholder position we would find ourselves in, removing our personal interests from the analysis. * '''Agape Principle'''. This principle, also known as the 'Persons as Ends' principle, emphasizes love for our fellow humans and the [[Ethic of reciprocity|golden rule]]. He stresses that when we love our neighbors, we shall seek to do good to them, therefore, we should love fellow humans the same way we love ourselves. These help link concrete options to overarching principles, getting us to think about our own basic values.
