Case study1
your friend shows you some books he took from the bookstore without paying for them. when you question him about it, he says, "Sure I took them. But I'm no different than anyone else around here. That's how we all manage to get through school on limited funds. I'll be a better medical professional because of all the knowledge I gain from these books."
1. do you agree or disagree with his rationalization? Why or why not?
No, there is no reason that you'd need to steel in order to obtain the books. there are plenty of other options, asking to borrow money from a friend, student financial assistance, among other things.
2. what do you say to him?
"Look, brohan, how 'bout we go and take them back? Then, how 'bout I buy you the books, and you just pay me back when you can."
3. what ethical principles discussed in this class helped you with your answer?
Well, honestly, I just used the morals I alredy hold. But "virtue-based ethics" does fit the description of the set I apply to this particular topic.
