SITUATIONS (CHOOSE 2 OF YOUR CHOICE ,write the number of the situations as is)
1. You have recently graduated from university with a degree in computer science. You
have received job offers from two different companies.
• Company A offers a high-paying position at a well-established tech giant known for its
competitive work environment and opportunities for advancement. However, the job
requires long hours and may not align with your personal values.
• Company B, on the other hand, offers a slightly lower salary but boasts a more relaxed work
culture and a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Which job offer will you choose, and
why?
2. You are a medical student interning at a hospital. One day, you overhear a conversation
between two doctors discussing a patient's medical records. One doctor suggests altering
the patient's records to cover up a medical error that occurred during a surgical procedure,
while the other doctor expresses concerns about the ethical implications of falsifying
medical records. As an intern, you are unsure how to proceed.
• Do you report the conversation to hospital authorities and risk facing backlash from your
colleagues, or
• do you remain silent and compromise your integrity?
3. You are a project manager working on a high-stakes project for your company. During a
team meeting, you discover that one of your colleagues has been taking credit for your
ideas and contributions to the project, undermining your professional reputation and
potentially jeopardizing the project's success.
• Confronting the colleague about the issue could create tension and conflict within the
team, but
• remaining silent may perpetuate the injustice. What do you do?
4. During a class discussion, your professor accidentally leaves their laptop open with
the answer key for an upcoming exam visible on the screen. You notice the opportunity to
memorize the answers and gain an unfair advantage in the exam.
• However, doing so would constitute academic dishonesty and violate the principles of
integrity. What do you do?
