(Different people might  include patients, users, carers, family members, the general public, pressure  groups, front-line professional workers, health and social care assistants,  service managers, etc);  
• identify and discuss potential conflict(s) and points of agreement in terms of  ethical arguments; 
• consider how gender, ethnicity, religion, age, sexuality, disability, or other  relevant differences, might influence how people respond to the ethical dilemma.
