Question

Use your understanding of ethical behavior to complete the sentence.-Your friend Patrick just told you that he is copying essays he finds on the Internet and turning them in to the professor as his own work. You are confronting _________ because Patrick is committing plagiarism but school regulations do not require you to report him.

Answer 1

ethical issue

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethical issues are problems that arise out of the need to settle a moral conflict, or a need to meet moral standards of society. Patrick seems to be going against this moral standard as he has chosen to plagiarism an author's work and lie about it(claim the work as his own). His friend who may be one that keeps to moral standards could show that he's disturbed by Patrick's decision and would therefore be displaying an ethical behavior.
