Your friend, Marco, offers to share with you a paper he wrote for his Introduction to Business class last semester. When you tell him that it wouldn't be fair, he reminds you of your habit of reading an entire book at Barnes & Noble without paying for the book. Which ethics-based question would be most helpful in evaluating these situations?

Answer:

The correct answer is: Is it balanced?

Step-by-step explanation:

This question based on ethics would be the most appropriate to assess these situations. Because when you confront your friend that it would not be fair and ethical for him to share an article written by him to be used as if you had written it, he responds to you with behavior that you consider unethical, but in these situations there is no balance comparison, as they are different situations.

Ethical issues seek to solve conflicting problems and dilemmas.
