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)?”
