Consider the following situations and determine which of the 12 categories each issue fits into.

a. Vilma Kari, a 65-year-old woman who had come to the United States from the Philippines, was on the streets of New York near Times Square. In the cold, cruel light of day, and unprovoked, a man kicked her in the stomach. She fell to the ground and her assailant then kicked her three times in the head. He walked away with this parting shot, “You don’t belong here.” Ms. Kari is so tiny that her attacker seemed to be twice her size.

Three staff members in the lobby of a highfalutin Manhattan apartment complex stood inside and watched the attack but did nothing to help.

As Ms. Kari struggled to stand, one of them did take action: He closed the lobby door.

One resident of the building commented after seeing the security camera video of the attack, “I’m not asking them to fight. But when you see someone on the ground who clearly needs help, as a human, our instinct isn’t to close the door.”19

b. A manager at a bank branch requires those employees who arrive late for work to clean the restrooms at the bank. The branch does have a janitorial service, but the manager’s motto is “If you’re late, the bathrooms must look great.” An employee finds the work of cleaning the bathrooms in professional clothes demeaning. Which category/categories apply?

c. Jack Walls is the purchasing manager for a small manufacturer. He has decided to award a contract for office supplies to Office Mart. No one knows of Jack’s decision yet, but Office Mart is anxious for the business and offers Jack a three-day ski vacation in Telluride, Colorado. Jack would love to take the trip but can’t decide if there is an ethical question. Help Jack decide whether there is and describe the category.? p-698
