A friend offers to share with you a term paper previously prepared for her Introduction to Business class last semester. When you tell her that it wouldn't be fair, she reminds you of your habit of reading an entire Harry Potter book at the local bookstore without paying for the book. Which ethics-based question would be most helpful in evaluating these situations?

Answer:

Is it Balance?

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethics may be defined as any correct rules for conduct which is necessary to carry out any course of action. It refers to the moral responsibility of an individual to carry out any task or action.

In the context, when a friend of mine wishes to share the previously prepared term paper with me, I tell her that it is not ethical or a good habit to do so. But then she asks me that whether is it balance on my part to say that because I myself once had a habit of reading a book from a local bookstore without even paying the price.

Hence my friend question me the ethics based question whether it is balance or not to say her.
