Osama and Badr are roommates taking an EMBA class together this term. Their professor encourages collaboration on homework. Because Osama finds the assignments much easier than does Badr, Osama almost always ends up doing the work first, poring over the complex ethical problems before they meet. Badr then relies on Osama to explain the problems to him by showing Badr the approach and the homework Osama plans to hand in. Osama now feels that Badr is taking advantage of him. Should Osama demand that Badr do more of the work, even if it takes him twice as long? If Badr does not do his share of the homework, should Osama stop their joint homework, or even tell the professor that the way it worked out, Badr just copied Osamas homework for each class?

• Osama and Badr are brothers.
• And Badr works so that he can pay the tuition and rent for himself and Osama.
