    Case Study 1: Workplace Ethics

    Scenario: Sarah works for a large corporation and has recently been promoted to a
    management position. She discovers that her predecessor, Tom, engaged in unethical
    practices, such as manipulating sales figures to meet targets. Reporting Tom could
    result in his dismissal and a potential scandal for the company, but not reporting it
    might allow the unethical behavior to continue.

    Ethical Dilemma: Should Sarah report Tom’s unethical practices, risking his career
    and the company’s reputation, or should she stay silent to avoid controversy?

    Questions for Analysis:

    1. What are the potential consequences of reporting Tom’s actions for him,
    Sarah, and the company?
    2. How does Sarah’s responsibility to uphold ethical standards compare to her
    loyalty to her colleague and company?
    3. What ethical principles should guide Sarah’s decision?
    4. Are there alternative ways Sarah could address the situation without causing a
    scandal?

    Case Study 2: Professional Confidentiality

    Scenario: Mark is a therapist who has been treating a patient, John, for severe
    depression. During a session, John confides that he has been having suicidal thoughts
    but insists that Mark not share this information with anyone. Mark believes that John
    is at serious risk of self-harm but is bound by confidentiality rules.

    Ethical Dilemma: Should Mark break confidentiality to seek help for John,
    potentially saving his life, or respect John’s wishes and maintain confidentiality?

    Questions for Analysis:

    1. What are the potential consequences of breaking confidentiality for John’s


    trust and well-being?
    2. How should Mark balance his duty to maintain confidentiality with his
    responsibility to protect John from harm?
    3. What ethical principles should guide Mark’s decision?
    4. Are there ways Mark could seek help for John while still respecting his
    confidentiality as much as possible?

    Case Study 3: Academic Integrity

    Scenario: Professor Lee discovers that a senior student, Alex, has plagiarized a
    significant portion of their final research paper. Alex needs this course to graduate and
    has otherwise been a good student. Reporting the plagiarism would likely result in
    Alex failing the course and not graduating on time.
    Ethical Dilemma: Should Professor Lee report the plagiarism, potentially delaying
    Alex’s graduation, or handle the situation privately to avoid severe consequences for
    the student?

    Questions for Analysis:

    1. What are the potential consequences of reporting or not reporting the


    plagiarism for Alex and for academic integrity?
    2. How should Professor Lee balance fairness to other students with compassion
    for Alex’s situation?
    3. What ethical principles are involved in addressing academic dishonesty?
    4. Are there alternative ways to handle the situation that maintain academic
    standards while offering Alex a chance to learn from the mistake?
