Ethical Dilemma 1 Your client wants compensation for a disease picked up at work you require further information about the disease but can only get it from the defendant.

What is your decision? 2. Why? 3. What method did you use to arrive at this decision?
Some of our ideas for teaching Practical Wisdom Facilitated Learning and Vygotsky s Zone of Proximal Development. Three Models of Skill Integration Automatically integrated model; Problematically integrated model; and Unintegrated model. Leads us to consider The Matrix of Concerns .
