LEARNING ACTIVITY 

Below are examples of situations that will require careful consideration on what course of action
to  take. Read carefully and in a separate sheet of paper, write how you will respond using your
reason. 

Situation 1 
Tony, a data analyst for a major casino, is working after normal business hours to finish an important 
project. He realizes that he is missing data that had been sent to his coworker Robert. Tony had 
inadvertently observed Robert typing his password several days ago and decides to log into Robert's 
computer and resend the data to himself. Upon doing so, Tony sees an open email regarding gambling 
bets Robert placed over the last several days with a local sports book. All employees of the casino are 
forbidden to engage in gambling activities to avoid any hint of conflict of interest. Tony knows he
should  report this but would have to admit to violating the company's information technology
regulations by  logging into Robert's computer. If he warns Robert to stop his betting, he would also
have to reveal the  source of his information. What does Tony do in this situation? 

- Tony will talk to Robert to warn him and give him a second chance to stop that gambling activities
because that is violating to the rules of there company.But Tony will need to tell the truth and to
reveal the information that he found out to make a way and to avoid the a hint conflict to there
company.

Situation 2 
A pregnant woman leading a group of people out of a cave on a coast is stuck in the mouth of that
cave.  In a short time high tide will be upon them, and unless she is unstuck, they will all be drowned
except  the woman, whose head is out of the cave. Fortunately, (or unfortunately,) someone has with
him a  stick of dynamite. There seems no way to get the pregnant woman loose without using the
dynamite  which will inevitably kill her; but if they do not use it everyone will drown. What should they
do? 
- Maybe they will use the stick of dynamite to save many lives. They believe that it is the right
thing todo is to use the stick of dynamite to kill the pregnant woman ,Rather than to be stuck
inside the mouth of the cave and drowned.Yes if they will use the dynamite the pregnant woman
will kill but it doesn’t mean that they don’t want to save the pregnant woman but they think that
is the only way to save more lives.
