Seriously!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Scarlet..one of the things mention was how we tend to make many more decisions based on the money side in our favor. It is universal, and does not seem to carry the moral weight that say a Terry Schiavo case carries.<BR/><BR/>JKFull-On-Forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964018803560952364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771249763573109399.post-14934094666227194672008-07-09T07:26:00.000-04:002008-07-09T07:26:00.000-04:00I can relate to what Hammer said.

Great job jeannie.<BR/><BR/>But it's such a BIG corporation and it was THEIR mistake! Do you tell or not tell? If so why would you sat take the lesser price on a scanner they made the mistake on, but maybe let someone know the sales price is wrong on a big ticket merchandise that they could loose tons of money on. Tell or Not tell.<BR/><BR/>I think we're into Situational Ethics!!! Does what you do morally depend on the situation? Like HOW BAD or How NOT SO BAD..you percieve something to be?<BR/><BR/>Thanks guys!Full-On-Forwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964018803560952364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771249763573109399.post-45589297458758480082008-07-08T23:05:00.000-04:002008-07-08T23:05:00.000-04:00Here's one for you: My mother has always far prefe...Here's one for you: My mother has always far preferred my brother over me. I always told the truth. He lied all the time. She would believe him. I would get in trouble. (My mother really believed I was a very bad girl when I really wasn't - esp not in comparison with my brother)<BR/><BR/>One night we were both out separately and came home late but at the same time. He was clearly very stoned. I had been out with my boyfriend and another couple (I was 14) just driving around and lost track of the time. We knew Mom would be on the warpath. My brother said to follow him in. He would tell Mom a story about why we were late and I could slip off to my room and not have to face her at all. He claimed he had been with me and we had driven to the beach and got a flat tire where it was pitch black and we had no flash light and we had a hard time changing the tire. (Of course there were no phone booths out there in the boonies either) She accepted the story and everyone was happy.<BR/>Yes, we were late. He had been doing wrong but would have gotten away with it. I had done nothing wrong but would have been in deep doodoo. I let my brother lie for me so I would not get in trouble. Morally this was wrong but logically not. I have to say, I am glad I did the logical thing. It would not have served any purpose to tell the truth. I would have been unnecessarily persecuted and the experience would have added to my bitterness. I was very grateful to my brother for covering me with his umbrella of good will. <BR/><BR/>Siding with your boss over a co-worker is obviously the logical choice - your boss is paying you - you owe him some loyalty and there is the chance you will be rewarded with a raise or promotion whereas you can find friends elsewhere. Had your boss been refusing to pay you overtime or cheating you in some other way while the woman in question offered to share her booty to even the score might have made the situation a little tougher. Just wanted to throw a wrench in there.<BR/><BR/>Another "dilemma" situation: How far will you go to be honest?<BR/><BR/>You notice the computer scanner has a cheaper price than what is advertised and it is clearly an error. Do you say anything?<BR/><BR/>You don't notice until you get home - do you say anything then?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps but you then also notice that you were overcharged for something else and the final tally is pretty much even. Do you make a phone call at least? Or forget it?Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771249763573109399.post-36572726713911932782008-07-08T16:55:00.000-04:002008-07-08T16:55:00.000-04:00I've been faced with many such decisions and more ...I've been faced with many such decisions and more than a few times I've been burned by telling because the person in charge was in on the criminal act too.<BR/><BR/>Still To do the right thing is a reward in itself.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550167783969561280noreply@blogger.com
