Scenario 1
I would take the spot. First, I did not see the car waiting for the spot, meaning that I did not intend to steal the parking space from the other vehicle, thus not violating the ethical and legal standard against stealing. Secondly, I will take the spot because I would not want to be late for my first speech. If I fail to take the spot, I may fail the class, thus giving a moral justification for my action, which would normally be considered unethical. However, I will explain my situation to the other vehicle’s driver to make him or her understand that I did not have any bad intentions when I took the spot.
Scenario 2
I would not use the work. Using my friend’s work is an act of plagiarism. Although I would have made similar points if I researched on my own, the act of deceiving my professor insults his intelligence. It is also unethical to use another person’s work without giving him or her due credit. Therefore, plagiarizing my friend’s work will cause moral harm to all parties by damaging the reputation of self and others and harm the integrity of all parties involved. Therefore, instead of plagiarizing my friend’s work, I would try to explain my situation to Professor Johnson and request a deadline extension to facilitate the paper’s completion.
