Answer 1

This case is a good one for discussion because so often young people (of all ages) know the right thing to do in a dilemma, but have a hard time doing it. They don’t know how to choose the right thing without great perceived cost to themselves.

In a recent survey of 777 teens between the ages of 13 and 18 released by JA Worldwide (Junior Achievement) and Deloitte & Touche USA, findings indicated that teens “often know the ‘right answer’ when faced with an ethical dilemma, but need support and ethics education to follow through on that knowledge.” (David Chernow, president and CEO of JA / 2005) Given these findings, we need to bring dilemmas into the classroom that are not just about what the correct choice is, but how to handle the follow through. At times, kids truly feel doing the right thing could “ruin” their life (at least their month, which is often a lifetime in a teenager’s reality.)
