Only by investigating all sides and contemplating every angle can we improve decision-making skills, build more trusting relationships, and help create a more ethical world.
This episode's ethics challenge:
A close friend calls you up and explains that his brother and his family are planning a vacation. His brother, however, is struggling financially and can’t afford nice accommodations. Your friend wants to help his brother cover the cost of the trip, but he knows his brother is too proud to accept his help.
He has a plan. He’ll tell his brother that he has a friend – you – who owns an AirBNB where he can stay for no charge. Your friend will pay you for rental, and his brother will think you’re just doing your friend a favor by letting his brother stay there.
You agree.
The brother comes with his family, and they have a wonderful vacation. As they’re packing up and preparing to leave, they repeatedly express how grateful they are for your kindness and present you with a thank-you gift – a fancy crystal vase bought at a local curio shop.
Do you accept the gift?
