  1. 1) I make a lot of bad decisions. Sometimes those decisions can hurt others. When I teach ethics I encourage students to be more aware of why they make bad decisions in order for them to become better at spotting, and mitigating, risky circumstances. I use the acronym HURTS.

      2) H is for Health When we neglect our own health, often through lack of sleep or unfavorable diets, our own fatigue can risk the safety of others. Sometimes we have no personal control over health issues but can make ourselves aware of fluctuations in clearheadedness.

        3) U is for Understanding When we make decisions without making an effort to understand all aspects of a problem space, we are less likely to make informed decisions and risk rushing into more problems. It's hard to know everything but easy to know too little.

          4) R is for Resilience Our ability to make favorable decisions even when we are being pressured to do otherwise can mitigate harmful acts. But resilience is impaired by power imbalance and we may need friends and allies to support and stand us by.

            5) T is for Time When not given enough time to complete a task we take shortcuts, miss important cues and clues, and make fewer efforts to stop or course-correct when we are astray. Reflection and reasoning are often neglected when time is the top priority.

              6) S is for Self-awareness If we haven't spent time getting to know our own values and how we can work to promote those values there is less of a chance we will recognise if we make choices contrary to our belief systems. Boosting self-awareness can let us be more of ourselves.

                7) It's always good to spend time at work (and elsewhere) discussing how these factors play into decision-making and how everyone is supported in being better decision-makers. Consideration and reflection is always worthwhile. Especially when it HURTS.
