Celia Moore offers the following example of how an individual may use mental maneuvers to “disengage” his or her “conscience” (not the technical term) from his or her immoral actions. Ms. Moore used the moral disengagement principles to describe the maneuvers.
“Imagine Sam has an internal standard that prohibits theft, but has taken a newspaper without paying for it from Starbucks. Moral disengagement mechanisms help Sam construe taking the newspaper as no big deal (distortion of consequences), believe that everyone takes small things like a paper sometimes (diffusion of responsibility), that taking the paper is tiny compared to others’ violations (advantageous comparison), or that he’s seen Starbucks employees take copies of the paper, so why shouldn’t he (displacement of responsibility)? He could think that in the grand scheme of things, being an informed citizen is more important than paying for the paper (moral justification). He could even plan on leaving the paper in the café when he was finished with it, so really he was just “borrowing” it (euphemistic labeling). He could think that Starbucks is a large heartless corporation that won’t notice the missing paper (dehumanization), or even deserves having the paper taken from it because it charges so much for their coffee (attribution of blame).”
Consider the mechanisms of moral disengagement and ethical fading from our readings this week. Discuss either:
An ethical failing that occurs in a public safety organization you’re familiar with. Explain one or more moral disengagement or self-deception strategy that is used to avoid moral responsible for the behavior.
A story in the news of an ethical failing committed by a public safety professional. Argue how the professional might, using one or more moral disengagement or self-deception strategies, be convinced of a lack of moral responsibility for the behavior.
You should have reviewed the information in the discussion section about how to achieve the maximum points on discussion posts and responses.
