Unit 1: Definitions and Distinctions.

Is the behavior of the postgraduate student in the case study ethical?

• Yes, because the student’s belief in flexibility and multitasking skills shows a strategic approach to balancing work and academic commitments.

• Yes, the student’s academic brilliance and analytical skills should excuse occasional and missed appointments.

• No, because consistently arriving late for classes and missing appointments with the academic advisor is a breach of professionalism and respect for others’ time.

• No, unless the student can provide a valid justification for their consistent tardiness and missed appointments.

• It depends on the institution’s policies regarding attendance and the expectations set by professors and academic advisors.

   

The Police official lady states they feel insulted all the time. Which of the following answers is the correct ethical thinking?

• She is offended because the person with the R3000 ONLY offered them R190 and not more.

• She is offended because the person was arrested after offering them a bribe.

• She is offended because the person offered them bribery, and she thought it was immoral.

Which scenario describe James correctly in an ethical situation?

 

• Although Anna invests in bad investments, the Good that she is doing is by far more important than the money she invests in her private time.

• Her making money from these bad investments goes against her efforts to help the environment. It's like doing good things while also supporting harmful activities.

• Even though people see James as a friendly leader, what happens inside his company doesn't match the good things he shows outside. It's like being a nice leader while also allowing unfair things to happen at work

• It is just so unethical of James to treat his workers unfairly.  No amount of friendliness or charm can rectify his worker’s bad conditions situation.
