On top of this, our reflexive response may conflict with our cognitive response andresult in rationalizations about the decision. Removing self when cognitively analyzing a casestudy may be possible, but is problematic when faced with an actual ethical conflict.From an instructional perspective, we should also be wary of making large imaginative leaps, ormaking assumptions that a student can quickly learn and apply an unfamiliar ethical frameworkto a scenario and come away with learning that will change their future behavior.
