Ethical Dilemma Worksheet Incident Review 1. What is the ethical issue or problem? Identify the issue succinctly. The officers know (by the hood of the car being warm, staggering up to the door) that the husband was driving the station wagon while intoxicated but did not witness him driving and most likely he in fact had hit his wife, however they is not sign of injury on the wife. As for the husband he failed an in field sobriety test and shows signs of intoxication and was 2 times the legal limit.
Tom Buchanan did not, however, reveal that the driver of the car was not, in fact, Jay Gatsby but his wife. Tom Buchanan placed the blame on Jay Gatsby to get back at Jay Gatsby for having an affair with Daisy Buchanan; Tom Buchanan knew very well that George Wilson’s strained mental state would lead him to desiring to murder Jay Gatsby. Tom Buchanan, having heard George Wilson’s angry tone when alluding to his wife’s affair with an unknown man as well as having seen first-hand what actions George Wilson felt compelled to, such as locking his wife up in their apartment for three days and then “going to move away”, knew that Tom Buchanan was searching for Myrtle Wilson’s lover (136). He was able to not only pin Jay Gatsby
Immediately, the three realize that it was Gatsby’s car and rush back to the Buchanan’s house where Nick finds Gatsby standing by the bushes. The audience would then have to wait until later the next day to discover the driver was in fact Daisy and not Gatsby, but in the novel Gatsby tells Nick as soon as they arrive to the Buchanan’s that Daisy was driving his car. This may be a slight alteration of the dialogue between the movie and novel, but it affects those watching who
Avoid mere plot summary. There are moments in life when there’s an illuminating event that changes the course of someone’s life. Just like in the book The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In the book there are definitely a lot of revelations that change the course of the book. Such as when “Roger Chillingworth” found out that Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale had an affair with his wife.
Tenant has not paid rent for three months due to the fact that her landlord has not fixed several dangerous conditions at the apartment. She delivered a letter to her landlord a month ago complaining of the toilet overflowing that have caused the bathroom’s floor to rotten to the point where Ms. Tenant’s youngest child fell through the floor; also electrical wiring is exposed on child’s bedroom. Ms. Tenant also complains that even though she has notified on several occasions the landlord of the loitering and dangerous activities going on at the building at all times, the landlord has failed to do anything to improve the safety of the tenants. Also, two neighbors of Ms. Tenant and a police officer denied that she is the one bringing the loitering people or causing problems inside the building; furthermore, one of her neighbors states that this is an act of revenge against Ms. Tenant because she had been collecting signatures to press the landlord to provide security guards to improve the safety of the buildings.
Even though they have been together in the past, the fact that they are not together at the time of the story shows how their relationship must have failed and therefore love is seen as unobtainable. He seems to place Daisy so high on a pedestal that she is in a way already unreachable. He loves her so much, with so much passion, worked so hard to be up to her standards (bought the house, throws all these parties…). However, she has never turned up to any of his parties or shown any interest in a certain Gatsby showing that love is unobtainable. Jordan mentions to Nick that “he half expected her to wander into one of his parties but she never did, then he began asking people casually if they knew her”.
“You two start on home, Daisy,” said Tom. “In Mr. Gatsby’s car” (pg. 142). “The “death car,” as the newspapers called it, didn’t stop; it came out of the gathering darkness, wavering tragically for a moment and then disappeared around the next bend… The other car, the one going toward New York, came to rest a hundred yards beyond, and its driver hurried back to where Myrtle Wilson, her life
One car had followed me while I walked all the way from the building to my car and the other two just appeared. I though the car which had followed me should have got the spot, but instead she was cut off by one of the two other cars. She then proceeded to roll down her window and yell an obscenity that her mother definitely would not approve of. In today’s society, swearing has become more prevalent than it was before, and out generation has become immune to the shock value of hearing swear words. In Rick Reilly’s 2006 article “Swearing Off Swearing” for Sports Illustrated, he uses ethos, pathos, and logos to attempt to convince the reader to literally swear off swearing.
He explained this happening as, “I picked it up with a weary bend and handed it back to her, holding it at arms length and by the extreme tip of the corners to indicate I had no designs upon it- but everyone near by; including the woman suspected me just the same.” That explains that no matter how kind you are all people will judge you for is your money, and if you didn’t have any they'd suspect you of doing anything it took to get it. A few pages later Tom is on his rant about how Gatsby stealing his wife Daisy, and described it as, “I suppose the lately thing is to sit back and let Mr.Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife,” seeing as Gatsby used to be poor, Tom still views him a “nobody from nowhere” which is generally how the poor is looked at. As a whole the rich is seen superior to the lower class. The lower class was clearly seen as unworthy and useless in this book. In a nutshell, this novel may very well had some clear love expressions however it was meant to be interpreted as a mocking of the American ways.
But the real comparison that will be discussed is “accusation before investigation” and how many people tend to jump to conclusions without knowing the whole story, though sometimes the accusations are true. In the first story “A Problem” the main character, Sasha Uskov, forges an IOU getting himself into a lot of trouble. His two uncles, the Colonel and Ivan Markovitch argue about Sasha’s fate. The Colonel believes he should be punished, saying “I am only warning you against a false view; I am pointing out the possibility of an unpardonable mistake. How can you fail to see it?
