Read Decision Point: What Would You Do? Pages 46 and 64.

Scenario 1: You are the first person to arrive in your classroom and as you sit down you notice an iPod on the floor underneath the adjacent seat. You pick it up and turn it on. It works fine and even has some of your favorite music listed. You realize that you are the only one in the room and no one will know if you keep it. You see other students entering the room so you place the iPod on the floor next to your belonging. You will have the whole class period to decide what to do.
Scenario 2: Instead of finding the iPod, you are a friend who sits next to the person who finds it. As class begins, your friend leans over and asks your advice about what to do.
Scenario 3: You are now a student representative on the judicial board at school. The student who kept the iPod is accused of stealing. How would you make the decision about the situation?

Write a 2 page APA style paper discussing the following questions related to the above scenarios:

What are the key facts that you should consider before making a decision, as either the person who discovered the iPod, the friend, or the judicial board member?
Is this an ethical issue? What exactly are the ethical aspects involved in your decision?
Who else is involved, or should be involved, in this decision? Who has a stake in the outcome?
What alternatives are available to you? What are the consequences of each alternative?
How would each of your alternatives affect the other people you have identified as having a stake in the outcome?
Where might you look for additional guidance to assist you in resolving this particular dilemma?

Provide 3-5 APA style references both inline and at the end of the paper to support your analysis. Please write in 3rd person. Note: This is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the week’s theory linked to personal opinion and outside evidence.

Read the following scenario:

Growing up and in college, Jonathan was not exposed to Hispanic, Chicano, or Latino people. In fact, he had no ideas what these terms meant. He had always been comfortable using the term Mexican with his Caucasian friends and family in West Virginia. There was no negative intention in their use of the term, and Jonathan never dreamed that another person would be offended by the word. During one of his first days son the job, Jonathan spent several hours with a trainer named Rosa from the Human Resources Department. As Jonathan and Rosa were in conversation, Jonathan said the following: “I’ve noticed that there are lots of Mexicans who work around here.” He continued: “But you don’t really look like a Mexican, Rosa. You have a very fair complexion.” Not surprisingly, Rosa was offended. In response to Jonathan’s comment, Rosa took the time to explain that some people who identify as Hispanic may not be Mexican or of Mexican descent. She went on to explain that in her case, her mother was of Irish descent and her father’s family came from El Salvador, so she was not Mexican. She also added that Hispanics are a diverse group and they do not have one look.

How should Rosa deal with this situation? Which approach(es) for dealing with ethical challenges (see page 47-48) would be the most appropriate for Rosa? Explain your answer, using examples to provide clarity.
