Ethics in Norm Decision Making

Norms are an instrument to coordinate societies, but deciding which norms to enact is a difficult task. Not only norms might have incom- patibilities between themselves, such as norms contradicting other norms, but also the cost of implementation can be an important aspect to consider. Furthermore, due to the growing social inter- est in ethics and the ethical impact norms can have, this ethical implications should also be examined during the decision making process.
