Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moral intensity is higher when many people agree the action is either ethically good or bad. This is because moral intensity depends on the degree to which people perceive the situation as right or wrong, and the extent to which it violates core values or principles. When there is consensus about the ethical implications of the decision, the moral intensity increases. The other choices, such as length of time taken or the ethical standards of a few decision-makers, may also affect the moral intensity, but they are not as closely linked to the perception of the action's ethical implications as social consensus.
