    Jennie, a new receptionist, must decide whether to use her company's copier to make 300 copies for her son Bruce's school project. Making the copies would help Bruce pass but could violate company policy. Her options are to make the copies herself, have Bruce make them and pay later, or explain the situation to her manager. Each choice could affect Jennie's job and the company's trust but not making the copies would hurt her son's grade. She must weigh the ethical and practical impacts to determine the best path forward.

    Course Work No. 5

    Activity 1: Making Informed Ethical Decisions


    INSTRUCTIONS: Student to follow the steps below for making ethical decisions. Student
    should select a feasible alternative and be prepared to discuss the reasoning for selecting that
    alternative with the class.

    SCENARIO: Case 1

    Jennie was recently hired to work as a receptionist for the front lobby. As receptionist, she is
    responsible for making copies for the associates. Her son, Bruce, comes in and needs some
    copies for a school project. He brought his own paper and needs 300 copies for his class. If he
    does not bring the copies with him, he will fail the project. The company copier does not require
    a security key, nor do they keep track of copies made by departments.

    Steps to making Ethical Decisions


    1. Identify the ethical issue or problem.
    2. Identify anyone who might be affected by your decision and how.
    3. List three alternative actions and identify the best and worst case scenario for each
    alternative, anyone who would be harmed by this choice (and how), any values that
    would be compromised by selecting this alternative, and any automatic reasons why this
    alternative should not be selected (legal issues, rules, etc.).
    4. Determine a course of action.
