Karolin Abreu-Garcia English 11 (Composition and Rhetoric I) Professor: David J. Puglia Doing The Right Thing Have you ever experienced and ethical dilemma when you need to decide between right and wrong? In my lifetime, I have experienced many ethical dilemmas that I know not only had affected other people. Also, I know that sometimes there are some ethical dilemmas harder to resolve right away, but others are easier to make decisions on the spot. I believe it is important to understand why doing the right thing can lead people to have more value and take the correct decisions. Almost every day I face ethical dilemmas in my job, but the easy ones are the ones that I can make decisions right away. For example, a costumer gave me more money …show more content…

What were the benefits and drawbacks of my two options? The benefit that I could take of keeping the money is using that extra cash for any personal purpose, but I will be losing my values as a person like not being honest with the costumer and fooling myself. Values helps shape the person you are. We usually behave in a way that reflects them. Values also determine what is important to us and whether we should pursue things or not. I also will be breaking the code of ethics from the company and spent time reading those ethical principles and guidelines for dealing with customers. Even though I know the code of ethics of the company I still can choose to take advantage of this costumer. In addition, this costumer perhaps will notice later on and come back to the store and describes me as a thief because knowing that the costumer gave me more money I decided to keep it, and it would get me in trouble or even worse get fired. I took the correct decision by giving the money back to the costumer. What made me do the right thing? It was that for me is more important my values than the costumer’s

Choosing to do the right thing over and over again eventually makes it natural for the individual. It is also true that for a particular behavior to be moral, it has to exist in moderation.

What is the right thing to do? Ellie Wiesel believes people should do the right thing but more importantly choose a side. Indifference is worse than anger, rage, and hatred as Ellie said with those three sometimes good can come of it. With indifference you are only punishing the victim and helping to achieve the goal of the unrighteous. This idea is not only held by Ellie but also former president Theodore Roosevelt who stated “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing”.

A Kind of Courage Response Journal I have recently read the short story “A Kind of Courage” by Ruth Sterling. In response to the prompt, doing the right thing is very subjective; it depends on the perspective of who you ask. For example, if you ask a student whether it is ok to take a dollar bill lying on the floor they might say that it is. However, if you ask another person, like a teacher, they would probably say just to leave it on the floor. What’s right or wrong depends on the person.

However, as we discussed in class, there are so many situations where ethical decision-making occurs, and there are so many factors that influence why we do what we do. Because we work with a multitude people with interesting and diverse lives and backgrounds, and because we come in with our own baggage and experiences that influence how we act and react, we make split-second decisions all the time that can have profound effects on our work and our consumers. Having so many opportunities to look at my own actions, this particular assignment has been so rewarding and interesting for me. This is the first time in any of my assignments where I have been forced to look at how ethics is involved in our
