Built on an easy to remember five-step process, the book describes each of the four major ethical schools of thought and demonstrates how one would answer a problem using the approach of each school. As readers explore the different approaches, they discover which one is their primary focus and which one makes no sense to them. Then they learn to appreciate the viewpoints of others who approach issues from a completely different world view.

The book begins with an exploration of ethical decision making, and then moves on to explore the person as a member of a community and the role of core values as related to the common good. The book takes the reader through the foundations and strategies for decision making as well as providing the reader a detailed exploration of the ethical lenses, which are the foundation of the EthicsGame learning solutions.
