You be the Ethicist
Author Randy Cohen serves as The Ethicist for The New York Times Sunday Magazine. He frequently poses ethical dilemmas to his readers and an adapted set of those (and similar themes) are listed next. Respond to each of the following scenarios, being sure to identify the ethical frame (utilitarian, universalism, or virtuous person) you are using as the rationale for your response.
a. Is it ethical to buy a sweater to use for a family picture and then return it for a refund?
b. Is it ethical to download a song from the Internet without paying for it given that (a) you would not have downloaded it if you had to pay, (b) you have no money and the artist and record label (or Apple, Inc.) are beyond wealthy, (c) you are actually promoting the artist by listening to and sharing your impressions with others.
c. How much is a cat worth? Your affectionate and obedient cat needs a procedure that will cost a few hundred dollars. Your instinct is to pay for what she needs, but you can't help thinking it's wrong. Wouldn't the cash be better spent on sick humans?
d. Can you ethically round off your 2.958 GPA to 3.0 when using it on your resumé?
e. Is it OK to take those hotel shampoos and soaps and give them to homeless shelters?
f. Should you tell on someone you observe researching bomb-making on the Internet? Or on a friend having a toofriendly dinner with a woman who is not his wife?
g. Is it ethical to buy cheap seats to a baseball game you know will be sparsely attended and then sneak down and sit in the expensive seats? Similarly, is it ethical to grab open first-class seats (once everyone is on board and in their purchased seats) when you only paid for coach?
h. Is it ethical for a homeless mother to steal a loaf of bread to feed her starving child?
i. If you scored the wrong answer on a test, and the instructor marked it correct and you very honestly let him know, is it ethical for the instructor to let you keep the points and reward your honesty?
