    Sheyree Lee
    This document discusses the requirements of reason and impartiality in ethics. It defines reason as the power of the mind to think logically and impartiality as treating all people and groups equally without bias. It then outlines four methods of ethical reasoning: virtues, utilitarianism, rights, and justice. The role of reason is to ground morality and explain its scope by responding to egoism. Impartiality is important for medical interpreters to remain neutral and convey information without judgment so patients and providers can make their own decisions.

    REASON AND

    IMPARTIALITY AS A
    REQUIREMENTS IN ETHICS
    REASON
    - the power of the mind to think and understand in logical way

    IMPARTIALITY
    -treating all people and groups equally; not partial or biased
    Ethical Reasoning
    -pertains to the rights ad wrongs of human conduct. Each

    person has standards that are defined by their personal

    values which come into play when the person faces certain

    dilemmas or decisions
    ETHICAL REASONING HOLDS TWO ROLES IN
    LIFE

    • Highligthing acts that enhance the well-being of other people

    • Highligthing acts that harm the well being of other people


    FOUR METHODS OF ETHICAL
    REASONING

    • VIRTUES- analysing using the value and character

    • Utilitarian- the amount good can be produced by decision

    • Rights- right of a person must not cause any harm to other people and their rights

    • Justice-distributing benefits and burdens equitably and according to a accepted rule.


    The role of reason according to Kant:

    • Use of reason to ground morality is that it provides a response to the


    eigoist

    • Use of reason to ground morality is that it explains the scope of


    morality
    ROLE OF IMPARTIALITY IN ETHICS
    As part of the interpreter code of ethics, qualified medical
    interpreters must strive to remain impartial regardless of
    circumstance. They must refrain from counselling, influencing or
    inserting personal beliefs on either party, conveying the message in
    its entirely free from judgement. By respecting the patient and
    provider’s ability to make their own decisions and judgements, the
    interpreter acknowledges that he or she is not participant in the
    conversation but rather a passive funnel through which
    communication can pass meaningfully from one language to
    another.
