Page 86 "We disagree that ethics applies only to so-called 'ethical dilemmas'. In fact, we assert that ethical dilemmas typically arise in situations where the practitioner has not been thinking in a teleological manner to begin with, that is, many ethical dilemmas can be avoided by following a consequences-based decision-making process throughout the course of one's work."
I love this. I have always found the whole "ethical dilemma" approach to be unsatisfying because there is always the question of what happened leading up to it. Or the question "how the heck did we find ourselves in this position?"

Being a philosopher, I had to look up the root of teleology. The greek "telos" means end/purpose/goal.

Interesting point about "role and responsibility" being used together in other professions, but the responsibility aspect left out in ours. That stems from the conduit model.

I am a firm believer that most interpreters fall under the category of teleologists. As interpreters we know that our roles and our decisions reflect not only us but our profession as well as the Deaf participants. Which is why it would be unfortunate for us to just made decision based on deontology i.e. rules and yes or no's without gray areas.

This is probably one of the chapters that really sticks out for me. Because you can see where some interpreters fall sometimes based on their decisions
