Your group is reporting in class. A group mate takes credit for work that you have done. What do you do?
This is one of the common scenarios in life wherein you are expected to make the most heart-crushing, kidding haha, the most reasonable decision. There are a lot of things to consider... Is this right? What will happen if I pursue this? What's the worst thing that could happen? Will I be able to handle the consequences? and the list goes on and on an on... But what can you do right? You want to make and ethical decision.
Ethical decision-making is probably one of the hardest things to do. Its more than just deciding if what your doing is right or wrong since the concept of right and wrong varies from one person to another. This kind of decision-making takes into consideration the after-effect of your decision. Your purpose is even included in this since you wouldn't want to confuse people with the kind of behavior you are showing. Another thing to take into consideration is that whether or not your decision would be something you could be proud of, your self-esteem is affected in this. Persistence is a key factor too, since you must make ethical decisions not only when it is convenient for you, you should do it every time.
How do you decide?
