What important values are involved in this issue? How does theGolden Rule apply?

Answer 1

find answer in the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Koby is 16 and that means he is under age for a start. That initial statement makes Fastfood liable.

As it can be seen from the question, the golden rule applies to Koby's case as it is clear he has other things to do with his time.

Primarily, he is a student and that means he has school work to do alongside putting in some hours at Fastfood. But then, he still has the right to be treated right which in this case means him getting some rest. It is therefore safe to say that the manager of Fastfood is trying to take advantage of Koby and should have given him rest.

if he had gotten some rest, he wouldn't have fallen asleep while driving and been in the accident.
