Think of a situation that tested your ethical behavior. For example, maybe your best friend forgot about a term paper due the next day and asked if he...

The first
alternative is agreeing to your friend's suggestion. Ethics is usually defined by the
individual; therefore, if you think that it is okay to help your friend cheat, it's up to you.
Since most people believe that cheating is immoral, you will be disrespected by most of your
peers. Those that find out what you did will question your integrity and avoid your company.


The second alternative is refusing your friend's request. However, you don't
just leave them after that. You offer to help them finish the work by providing guidance. You
will be like a tutor to them, which means that you won't do the work for them. That way, you
help a friend out and maintain your integrity. The consequences of this decision are greater
self-esteem and respect from your peers. In other words, you become more confident in yourself
and gain admiration from your peers.
