SCENARIO 1: Holding Charity Auctions in the Office

Angela, the bank employee, approaches Justin, the bank manager and says: “My daughter is seeking
treatment for heart disease and I don’t have a health insurance policy. My salary is insufficient to meet
the medical expenses. Over the years, I’ve been collecting autographed albums of various artists. I would
like to seek for your permission to hold a charity auction in the office. I will also send fliers to the clients
of our bank. Everyone is welcome to bid for these albums, so I can raise money for the medical treatment
of my child.”

Three (3) other bank employees, Roland, Joven, and Janeth, overheard this conversation. They
empathize to Angela’s situation and they convinced Justin to give his permission to Angela’s proposal.

Requirement: Based on the given scenario, explain the most appropriate ethical decision model that can
be applied to Angela’s situation.

SCENARIO 2: Misleading for Good Purpose

Vince is the inspector in charge of their local police station. The police station building is in direct need
of repairs, but hasn’t received any grants from the government for years. One day, a typhoon hits a
nearby area that damages most of the houses and shops. Although Vince’s police station gets partially
damaged, most of the structure remains intact. Due to the incident, the government will send a disaster
assessment team to ascertain the level of damage and will provide relief money for the affected areas.
The Deputy Superintendent Mr. Simon, orders Vince and says: “Hire some laborers and destroy the
remaining structure of the police station building. When the disaster assessment team comes, tell them
that the building collapsed because of the typhoon, and ask them to give priority in funding the
rehabilitation of our police station. After all, it is one of the most important public offices in town.”

Vince wants to do the right thing and disobey his boss but at the back of his mind, he also considers that
his boss is right and the end result will be beneficial for the police station.

Requirement: Identify the disparity between belief and behavior in Vince’s situation.
