Episode notes
What An Ethical Dilemma Means
- An ethical dilemma forces you to choose between two morally meaningful but conflicting options.
- Indiana explains it as a decision that calls to your sense of justice and right versus wrong.
Cheating Friend On An Exam
- Andrew gives the classic exam example where a friend is cheating and you must decide whether to tell the teacher.
- He notes either choice harms something: friendship or fairness of the exam.
Confront First, Tell Later
- Avoid immediate snitching; consider a middle option like confronting your friend privately after the test.
- Indiana suggests addressing the behavior directly with your friend first instead of telling the teacher right away.
