ASSIGNMENT: Example of Values and Ethics


Create 5 example scenarios in where we can observe values and ethics.

Answer:
1. A rare illness has taken my partner's life. Fortunately, a cure has recently been
developed by a pharmacist who lives close to you. The druggist, on the other
hand, is selling the treatment for 10 times what it cost him to create it. I'm in
desperate need of funds; even borrowing from friends and taking out a bank
loan will only get me halfway there. I implore him to sell it for a lower price
because my partner is dying. I think I could break into his business after he's
gone home one night and grab the cure. This would undoubtedly rescue my
companion, notwithstanding the possibility that I might be charged with the
crime.
2. A football coach witnessed one of his "superstar" players breaking a game
regulation. The game's referee failed to notice the player's activity. The team's
current game is crucial because if they win, they will automatically progress to
the final round. If they are discovered breaching the rules, they will be
disqualified from the final round. The coach didn't want his team to lose the
game, but he saw that one of his players had broken a rule.
3. Mario works as a doctor in a hospital. There are dangerous gases coming up
through the hospital's ventilation system due to an accident at the building next
door. Four of her patients are in a specific hospital room. One of his patients is
in a different room. If she does nothing, the gases will ascend into the room with
the four patients, killing them. The only way to save these patients from dying is
to turn on a switch that causes the fumes to bypass the four patients' room. As
a result of this, fumes will reach the chamber housing the solitary patient, which
he does not want. This lady will die if she does, but the other four patients will
live.
4. Timothy and Daniel were two of Rafaelo's many pals. Timohty has lately met
and begun dating Micaela, a lovely lady. He is certain that this is going to be a
long-term relationship. Unknown to Timothy, Rafaelo had seen them at a
restaurant a few days before and recognized Micaela as the wife of another of
his friends, Daniel. Rafaelo is not yet decided if he will save their friendship by
not telling it, or tell the truth to Timothy and Daniel, knowing that it could destroy
two relationships, their friendship and the married couple.
5. Consider a circumstance in which a group of individuals is having fun together
on an outdoor trip. One person becomes trapped in an enclosed place, such as
a cave, with no way in or out. Due to high tide or severe rains, water begins to
rise in the cave. If the individual is not removed from the entryway, everyone
will perish. They can't seem to make up their minds on what to do. Although it is
widely acknowledged that killing someone is wrong, that extreme action that
would cost one member of the group their life in order to save the lives of others
is not.
