ETHICAL CODE DESIGN
โ๏ธ
An Ethical Dilemma
A situation where you have to make a tough choice because different values or rules pull you in opposite directions. It is not just about "right vs. wrong"โit is often about choosing between two things that both matter!
Values in a Tug-of-War:
โค๏ธ LOYALTY VS ๐ซก HONESTY
Keeping a friend's secret vs. telling the truth to keep people safe.
๐ฅน KINDNESS VS โ๏ธ FAIRNESS
Helping out one student vs. following the exact same rules for everyone.
๐ฅ BELONGING VS ๐ฆ COURAGE
Fitting in with the popular group vs. standing up for someone alone.
๐ CONVENIENCE VS ๐ฏ RESPONSIBILITY
Doing what is quick and easy vs. doing the right thing even if it is hard.

LET'S TRY ONE! PRACTICE RUN
VOTE IN THE ZOOM CHAT
SCENARIO: THE GROUP CHAT
Your friends are making fun of a new student in your class group chat.
Someone posts an embarrassing photo of the student. Your best friend tags you:
"Come on, everyone is laughing. Just react ๐."
๐คซ
You feel uncomfortable. You know it's mean, but you don't want to look uncool.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Select your choice in the chat box:
A React ๐ because everyone else is.
B Stay silent and say nothing.
C Ask them to stop and delete it.
D Leave the group chat.

CASE BREAKDOWN HOW WE USE ETHICS
DECONSTRUCTING DILEMMAS
BREAKING IT DOWN IN SIMPLE STEPS:
How to use the 4 questions in this situation:
๐ WHO IS AFFECTED?
โข The New Student: Feels embarrassed and bullied.
โข Your Friends: Get used to being mean.
โข You: Feel bad for not doing what's right.
๐ฎ WHAT COULD HAPPEN?
โข If you say stop: They might delete it. The bullying stops.
โข If you laugh: The photo spreads and things get way worse.
๐ WHAT VALUE MATTERS?
โข Respect: Treating everyone nicely.
โข Courage: Doing the right thing even when it feels scary.
๐ RIGHT OR PRESSURE?
Reacting ๐ is 100% peer pressure. You are only doing it because "everyone else is laughing."
