ADAPT, ORDER or DEAL Concepts ADAPT is an acronym for Attention, Dialogue, Assumptions, Proposals, and Test, an ethical framework used to help make moral decisions. To exhaustively understand this model, we will use the case of starving children in a refugee camp due to political instability in their country. It is critical to remember that children and women are the most affected by civil and political wars, even though they often have little impact on their ignition. In the first phase of the process, referred to as attention, some condition, situation, or an array of facts must be brought to light and capture concerned individuals' attention. At the mention of starving children, it comes to our mind that these young ones are severely suffering and feeling

the pain they ought not to. They need urgent assistance lest they perish. During the second phase, dialogue, the concerned community conducts a discussion regarding the situation at hand. In this case, they are likely to be morally considerate beings and argue that the suffering children did not plan for their misery, but were merely collateral damage to another person's plan. Equally, they have no power and strength to defend them; hence need urgent assistance from an external group. In the third stage, assumption, the discussion includes the ethical assumptions that direct our lives, typically without conscious judgment. It is presumed that saving the suffering children is the best thing regardless of the damage and problems that are likely to follow. At this point, the concerned individuals lay specific proposals to achieve their objectives. A fundamental one would be to evacuate the suffering children to a safer place, where they can easily be supplied with necessities. After the evacuation, the concerned community can facilitate the fighting groups to reach an amicable agreement and regain peace and stability. After implementing the proposals, the concerned group evaluates it in the testing phase of the ADAPT framework. They assess if the evacuation was successful and the suffering children can now access all the relevant necessities.
