Translating ethics knowledge into ethical behavior is much harder than it appears, writes Sternberg. In this article, he outlines an eight-step process that individuals must go through to act in an ethical way--for example, recognizing that there is an event to which to react, taking personal responsibility for generating an ethical solution to the problem, and preparing for possible repercussions of having acted. He advocates that schools teach students this process--not in a separate ethics course, but by infusing critical conversations throughout the curriculum.
