Question

You are facing a moral quandary, and you want advice. You must choose either of two advisors, but not both. One is Brenda, who is a very clear and careful thinker, but whose feelings and affections seem limited you sometimes have the impression that she really cares about no one except herself. The other possible source of advice is Brandon: warm and caring, but he quickly becomes muddled when trying to think carefully. Whom would you choose as your moral advisor? Why?

Answer 1

I would choose Brenda as my moral advisor because successful decision making requires clear and careful thinking without being affected by feelings and emotions. When we are influenced by feelings and emotions we would not be able to make proper decisions as we start thinking about many factors around us and become muddled. I need a person who can make strong decision during moral dilemma without getting muddled. Though Brenda cares about only herself, she can be successful in decision making as it will benefit her also as a moral advisor. Hence I am sure that she will work out properly and make correct decision.
