    Case Study

    Read the situations described below, and answer the questions that follow. Be prepared to share and
    explain your rationale for responses.

     Jonathan is a junior in high school and has many decisions to make in his life. He wants to go to college
    very much but is unable to pay for it. He has missed the deadline for qualifying for financial aid. He feels
    he will excel at any college he attends, but he needs an academic scholarship. Although his grade point
    average is good, it is not high enough to earn him the desired scholarship. Knowing this, he thinks about
    boosting his scores by cheating on his mid-term exams.

     Jonathan has other decisions to make. His girlfriend is very possessive, and he would like to date others
    without upsetting her. Mindy, his girlfriend, attends a different high school. There is a big dance coming
    up at his school, and he is thinking of asking a girl from his psychology class. He is afraid that Mindy will
    find out and get angry.

     Jonathan has other problems to face. While Jonathan was on a school field trip, Tim, his best friend,
    asked if he could use his locker. Jonathan didn’t quite see the necessity of this but told Tim it was okay.
    A few days later, the school searched the student lockers looking for illegal drugs. Jonathan’s locker was
    identified as one of those possessing drugs. He was called to the principal’s office and asked to explain.
    He was told that the police had been called.

    Guide Questions:
    Should Jonathan cheat? Why or why not?

    Should Jonathan ask his classmate to go to the dance with him? Why or why not?

    Should Jonathan implicate his best friend? Why or why not?

    Review your answers for each situation presented. Is your rationale for the solution to Jonathan’s
    problems the same in each case? If there are differences in your reasoning, explain why you used a
    different rationale for each situation.
