FINAL PROJECT IN ETHICS and

LOGIC
Lenard J. Pangantihan
BSED-Math-A1

Answer the two (2) ethical dilemma situations:


1. Ethical Dilemmas in Personal Relationships

Michael had several friends including Roger and


Daniel. Roger has recently met and started dating a
wonderful lady named Charry. He is convinced this is
a long-term relationship. Unknown to Roger, Michael
observed them at a restaurant several days ago and
realized Charry is the wife of his other friend Daniel.

Michael is deciding whether to tell Roger that Charry


is married when he receives a call from Daniel.

Daniel suspects his wife is having an affair. Since


Daniel and his wife share many friends and contacts
with Michael, Daniel asks if Michael has heard
anything regarding an affair.

What should Michael do in this ethical dilemma? To


whom does Michael owe greater friendship or loyalty
in this situation?
No matter who he tells, he knows that it is going to
end up hurting one, if not both friends.
Should Michael reveal to Roger that Charry is
married? Why?

Should Michael tell Daniel what he knows about


Roger and Charry? Does that fact that Daniel asked
him a direct question have an impact on what
Michael should do?

Should Michael speak up to both Daniel and Roger?


Does he remain silent and hope his knowledge is
never discovered?

Answer to all question in no. 1


 I think the best decision of Michael is to tell or
confront Roger first that charry is already
married to the wife of his friend Daniel, and then
say to Roger that he needs to break up
with charry because he is Daniel's wife, and it is
a sin to God, and there’s a law for adultery, and
he can be jailed for that. If Roger did not listen to
him, it was better to tell Daniel about the affair
between Roger and his wife, charry. Even
though he is closer to Roger, he should tell
Daniel because it is the right thing to do and, as
a good friend, he doesn’t tolerate the wrong
action of his friend and he wants Roger to learn
from his experience by facing the consequence
of his action. I know No matter who he tells, he
knows that it is going to end up hurting one and
it can destroy his friendship with Roger, but we
should always do the right thing because we
can’t correct the wrong with another wrong
because it will end up into a bigger problem. We
can be corrected for choosing the right thing to
do because it will always lead to our own
happiness and peace of mind, and if Roger is a
true friend of Michael, he will understand why he
chose to be a righteous person.

2. Life or Death Impact

Consider a situation in which a group of people are


enjoying an outdoor adventure together. One person
gets stuck in the only way in or out of an enclosed
space, such as a cave. Water starts rising in the cave
due to high tide or heavy rainfall. Everyone will
perish if the person isn’t removed from the entrance.
There is no way of removing the person who is stuck
so that the individual will survive.

The group must make an extremely difficult decision.


Do they take an extreme action that will cost one
member of the group her life? Or do they do nothing,
knowing that chances are good that none of them
will survive if that choice of action is taken.

Who would be responsible for making such a


decision? Is it different if the person who is stuck
offers to sacrifice herself versus members of the
group suggesting that she be eliminated?
What are the consequences of facing such an
extreme moral dilemma? It is commonly accepted
that killing a person is wrong, but what about when
it’s done to save others?

What might the consequences be for the survivors if


the group chose to kill the person who is stuck so
they might survive? Would there be legal
consequences? What about guilt?

Answer to all question in no. 2


 The answer to all the questions they are all
responsible for deciding is that if the person who
is stuck in the cave offers her life for the sake of
the other members of the group, it will be a
different story, because if I am in a situation I
will do or think anything for all of us to be saved,
but if there is no way to save all of them, it is the
time I will consider his offer to sacrifice her life
to save the others it is sure all of us are save
and I will call 911 or any hotline for rescuing to
find her body and hoping if she survive or not. If
she survives, we have peace of mind and we are
happy that all of us survived. If not, the
consequences of this decision can be traumatic
for us. But if we choose to stay and not kill,
maybe we will all die. The legal consequences
for the survivors if they choose to kill the person
who is stuck in the entrance of a cave are first
that it can be a murder or homicide because
they chose to kill her to save others. It depends
on the judge. They can also be punished for
engaging in such extreme activities, not knowing
that they could be at risk. And the guilt in their
hearts will forever remain for making that
decision.
