CRITICAL READING: CORNELL NOTES Chapter 1: Moral Reasoning: An Introduction Name: Trachsler Date: Week 1 Section: pg1 2 – 51 Period: SPM 620 Questions/Main Ideas/Vocabulary Notes/Answers/Definitions/Examples/Sentences Social development of morals Morals are the beliefs and ideas a person has about what is right or wrong to do? Politics?? Ethics is the area of philosophy that deals with questions about morality and assesses the rightness or wrongness of actions and decisions? How we SHOULD act vs. how we do act Morals together = morality >> a system of norms/values that guide Altruism in moral reasoning – looking beyond myself Moral reasoning is a decision-making process that requires individuals to use criteria such as moral values, moral principles, and/or the anticipated moral consequences to determine whether a particular action is right or wrong or whether we have a moral obligation to act in a particular manner toward others. Strategic reasoning is also a decision-making process and has the objective of acting based on what will reward or bring the greatest advantage to a person or to that persons in-group?. Designation of terms Moral uses good? and bad?; ethics uses right? and wrong? Moral v. Social values – Rudd article connection Moral values – honesty, justice, kindness, respect, beneficence, compassion For class: Fan heckling – ethically/morally – as an administrator where do you draw the line and what makes you draw the line there? Bracketed Morality in sport The way we act in the sport context can be/is different than we act in other segments of our lives. For class: Aggression and Violence in Sport: Moving Beyond the Debate – PMC (nih.gov) Stuntz and Weiss added to the understanding of how those in sport reason by pointing out that the form of morality that takes place in sport allows contestants and those assisting them to think more egoistically.11 In other words, sport culture is accepting of participants who put their own interests and the interests of their teams ahead of the interests of others.

GOOD example of moral v. strategic argument on page 15 – Tripping in hockey Psychological hedonism Theory – humans seek to avoid pain and enhance pleasure Psychological egoism Theory – my aim is to my own self-interest
Consequentialism In other words, actions in sport are often justified and perceived to be okay even if they are not grounded in moral values?as long as the consequences do not end up being immediately hurtful to others. The consequentialist perceives the means by which he or she arrives at the end to be okay as long as the outcome is perceived as positive to those involved and not hurtful to others? p. 18 Gamespersonship? Does consequentialism link to gamesmanship – class discussion? Utilitarianism Emphasizes the good of others over the good of the individual decision-maker – greatest amount of happiness to the greatest amount of people Best Interests Bringing about the most good for everyone? p22 Sportspersonship Fairness in following rules Summary: Large number of definitions – need to practice using them to become comfortable integrating them in discussions – TAKE THE REPS! Moral decision-making takes many different forms and is quite different than strategic decision-making as a whole. We need to understand the HOW people make moral decisions (process) and the WHY (motives) – understanding the WHY can help us practice Emotional Intelligence (leadership) skills.
