Outline the range of ways you could handle each situation below. Use two or more of the ethical guidelines to compare courses of action. Then decide on a course of action you believe to be both principled and realistic. Justify your decision.
Your friend is applying for a job and has given you as a reference. A questionnaire sent by the employer asks if there is any reason you cannot recommend the applicant. You know that your friend is struggling with an alcohol problem, which led to dismissal from a previous job. Do you mention this problem on the reference form? If so, how?

Virtue approach states the promotion of the development of moral virtues (character) in the workers and community. As per virtual approach I would mention alcohol problem stating that he is fighting with this problem and has the caliber to overcome from this problem. I would ask my friend as well to quit consuming alcohol and concentrate on career without quoting what I wrote to the employer.
