CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING LP1

With your own concept of what is right (if ever you are in the position of the man talking, what will be
your answers to the situations?).
In the first situation given in the video, we could say that the man’s suggestion is the most moral and
ethical way to solve the situation, but if I were to be asked to answer the situation, I would first consider
the amount of work I’ve done in mowing the lawn, if the amount of work you’ve done and the area
you’ve covered was the same as the amount of work you’ve done before, when you finished your job in
two hours, then I would suggest that you just keep the money because the amount of work you’ve done
is equal to what you did before but this time, you were able to finish your job earlier than expected. Yes,
it might seem unethical, but if we base it in the amount of work you’ve put up, then this would be just

m
fair. However, in the second situation, if I were to answer the situation, I would also follow that man’s

er as
suggestion in the video to just talk to the teacher about what happened and help your friend convince

co
the teacher to give him a second chance to retake the exam so that in that way it would be fair for all of

eH w
your classmates and at the same time you won’t betray your friend by selling him out.

can’t live in a lie forever and it only gets heavier and harder

for you if you continue on doing so, so it’s better to tell the

truth and face the consequences, at least you’ve come clean

to yourself and to others and removed the burden from your
heart.
My friends want me to help them If I were to follow my conscience, I would decline from their

cheat and I might lose my reputation of being a good student.

And also cheating is bad and if you become too dependent
on this habit you wouldn’t be able to learn anything.

gave back too much change, and the cashier might get
scolded or even fired if I wouldn’t return it.
If I were to follow my conscience, I would tell my friend to
stop spreading rumors about them because it’s not their

business to know and tell others of other’s private lives.

wouldn’t allow it then I would just respect and their decision,
at least I’ve done everything that I can to hep my friend
without losing her parents’ trust on me.
If I were to follow my conscience, I would just rather stay at
home because if something happens to me on that party, my
parents would scold me and they would lose their trust on
me because I went to the party, even though they didn’t
want me to.
If I were to follow my conscience, I would rather just return it
to the owner because stealing is bad, and if I would get used
to stealing, I might do it more often and wouldn’t care of
others.
