Which of the following questions is an effective self-check when deciding on an ethical approach to a situation?

A) "Would I want all of my procedures to be made public knowledge?"
B) "Would I want to continue with this customer?"
C) "Would this customer be pleased with my suggestions?"
D) "Would my actions lead to a solution to the issue?"

This question challenges one to consider if their actions are transparent and in line with what they would be proud to defend publicly. It encourages ethical behavior that is not just for show, but truly representative of the values an individual holds.

B, C, and D are not effective self-check questions for ethics. B is more focused on personal gain, C on customer satisfaction rather than ethical integrity, and D doesn't necessarily address the ethical implications of actions.
