Jessica’s grandma was sick and Jessica stayed up all night taking care of her. The next day she had a paper due in her History class. She had her paper halfway done. A friend told her about a website where she could buy papers on any topic. Jessica had never done anything like that before, but she really wanted a good grade. If she turned in the paper she had, she’d probably fail. Using the five different Decision making approaches, determine what you think is the most ethical decision.

Utilitarian decision making

Explanation:

She would make use of the utilitarian decision making which involves taking the decision which will least harm the people involved.

In Jessica’s case she would have to consider all her options and see which is the least harmful. If she were to turn in her paper as it is, she might get a bad grade, but she would be solely affected. If she decides to buy a paper, she could continue to take care of her grandmother and would guarantee her a good grade. If the teacher finds out she didn’t write the paper or it was plagiarized it could cause harm to her academic integrity. If she were to explain the whole thing to the teacher the next day, they might just give her an extension; if she were to buy a paper, then it wouldn’t be her honest work.

It is advisable for Jessica to just keep the paper she has and turn that in. It would be better for Jessica to be honest than cheating and buying someone else’s work.
