CMNS200-1-Etiquette

Defining Ethics and Morals:

1. Ethics: Ethics is the system of rules and the gaudiness of our behavior if its
right or wrong in a specific situation with professional acting.

2. Morals: Morals are our specific behavior and beliefs regarding if its right or
wrong.

3. Take a moment and write what is the type of the moral dilemma. Also write
down your justification on why you considered it that type.

Scenario:

In this scenario, a loved one has been placed in a special residential center, which
is expensive. Their children don’t have the funds to pay, but the loved one does.
Unfortunately, the only way to access those funds is to trick the loved one into
revealing their bank account information.

This moral dilemma highlights an important type of ethical dilemma, which is

obligation dilemma, where a person loses the trust and honesty of the loved one
just to feel responsible for the children funds.
