Which term describes principled, values-based decision making that is practiced daily?

• A. Discipline
• B. Ethics
• C. Disturbance
• D. Ethical behavior

Answer: (D)

This question centers on living out values in everyday decisions. The term that best describes principled, values-based decision making practiced daily is ethical behavior. Ethics is the system of moral principles that guide judgments; ethical behavior is the actual enactment of those principles in how you act, react to situations, and interact with others each day. Discipline involves self-control and following rules, which can support ethical conduct but doesn’t itself capture the day-to-day application of values. Disturbance is unrelated to moral action. So, ethical behavior is the most accurate description of consistently applying values in daily practice.
