One of the reasons there can be so much debate about ethical issues is because ethics
are opinions informed by people's values and people have different values. People can
disagree about whether or not something is unethical, and, oftentimes, there is no right
answer. In order to make decisions about what may be ethical or unethical, Yegidis
(2018, p. 25) suggests focusing on these three questions:
1. "Who should benefit or suffer from the actions of the researcher?"
2. "Whose rights should take priority over those of others?"

3. "Does the end (increased knowledge) justify the means (the methods used to
acquire it and their potential for harm)?"
