Exercise #2 – Norms, Ethics, and Decisions

Directions: Read each of the scenarios below. Identify the norms and values involved in making
a decision. Decide on an action and be prepared to defend it as an ethical decision.

1. Your social studies class is working on team projects. Your team has one member who
doesn’t do much work, but often takes credit for the work you’ve done. One day your teacher
remarks that the project poster for your team is excellent. You know your lazy team member
is the one who created the poster. What do you say to your teacher?
I would be honest and tell the teacher that the rest of our team has been working very hard
on the project while the other teammate was being lazy and not doing anything to contribute
or help the crew.

2. You have many friends who download music without paying for it. One day, a friend tells you
how he just downloaded a new song you really like and asks if you’d like a copy. How do you
respond?
I'll accept it from him, people alway's download music they didn't pay for so I wouldn't really
think that much of it to be fully completely honest.But I also know it's right to do that but it's
not major.

3. Your beloved 15-year-old dog is very sick. He won’t eat, can barely walk, and looks
miserable. The vet says you should consider “putting him down” to spare him suffering. You
can’t bear to part with him. What should you do?
I would put him down if I really love the dog because I know that's what the dog would want if
he's that sick and miserable I know I wouldn't want to live like that so I wouldn't make him
suffer like that.

4. Your baseball team is close to winning a regional championship. You are guarding third base,
with the other team on first and second base. In the final play of the game, your opponent’s
team hits the ball way in the outfield. The runner from second speeds through your base, and
the umpire calls him out because he did not touch the base. You know he touched the edge
of the base. If you speak up, your team will lose the game. What do you do?
I wouldn't say anything,because if the empire didn't see it I didn't see it there's absolutely no
reason for me to say anything especially if we are going to lose because of it.No real reason
to say anything.
