title: Ethnicity and morality in a multicultural world.
abstract: The choice of moral acts is governed by the unique ethnic and/or cultural meaning and values ascribed to by the individual. In pursuing an "acceptable" moral choice, the process of analysis is further directed by the ethical theories which are molded by time and tempered by the current context to which the action is undertaken. An OPTIMIN MODEL OF ETHICAL-DECISION MAKING PARADIGM is proposed, and health care policy on cultural diversity is adduced.
