Please support your position by giving examples to justify your conclusion on the following questions. Pretend it is midway through the spring semester, and you are taking a math test. You've been struggling all semester in this class, and you know that this test will form a big part of your grade. You feel like you are doing quite well on the test until you come to the last problem. It is worth 20 points and you just can't remember how to solve it.  As it happens, the class math whiz is sitting right in front of you and you can see he's just finished it.  You are close enough to see how he solved it, and you know that no teacher can see you if you cheat.  

What do you do? Why do you think you would make this decision? Do you think you will feel good about yourself later?  What's the difference between cheating on a math test and lying about your age in order to save money on a movie ticket? When was the last time you cheated or lied?  How did you feel about it later?.

Please support your position by giving examples to justify your conclusion on the following questions. You are the network administrator for a large company. You have a young family and need your job to support them. As part of your responsibility as a network administrator is to monitor the emails for the organization. Usually this just means occasionally allow through emails for staff members that have been accidentally blocked by the spam filters.

One day you get a helpdesk request from a staff member asking for an email to get released. Normally it’s standard procedure except this time the request has come from the wife of a very good friend of yours. You recognize the name on the helpdesk request so quickly attend to the problem. As part of the procedure you need to manually open up the email to ensure that it isn’t spam, so you do and you discover that it certainly isn’t spam. You find that it’s actually an email to your friends wife from her lover. You scan the rest of the contents of the email and there is no doubt that she has been having an affair for some time now.

You release the email, but you can’t decide what to do. You’re initial reaction is to call your friend up and tell him about the email, however you quickly realize that company policy is very strict about revealing the contents of confidential emails of staff members regardless of the contents and unless someone’s life is in immediate danger, under no circumstances are you permitted to reveal the information.

In any case you know that revealing this information presents great risk, because even if you don’t do it directly, there is a good chance that the dots will be joined somewhere along the line and you will be found out. However you feel that by not telling your friend that you are aiding his wife get away with adultery and this troubles you greatly.

If you tell your friend you may loose your job.  If you do not say anything your friend will find out that you knew about his cheating wife. What do you do?  How do you handle the situation?
