She has not told any of her siblings or parents, and she is out of money. Her main reason for silence is shame, though it is not her fault for being unemployed and short of money. She has always had a very strong moral code of honesty and a strong desire to “go it on her own.”
Bethany is at her parents’ home and takes the opportunity to remove a
$100 bill from her dad’s billfold with the rationale that “what is theirs, is hers” because she is their child. Besides, she knows that he would probably gladly give her some money if he knew the situation. She leaves the house with the money, knowing she did something that is against her own beliefs. Explain in your own words,
(a) the temptation,
(b) the ethics dilemma, and
(c) what Bethany should do at this point.
