Think of a situation that tested your ethical behavior. For example, maybe your best friend forgot about a term paper due the next day and asked if he could copy a paper you wrote for another instructor last semester.

1. What are your alternatives, and what are the consequences of each?

2. Would it have been easier to resolve the dilemma if you had asked yourself these three questions "Is my proposed action legal? Is it balanced? Am I acting fairly? Would I want to be treated this way? How will it make me feel about myself?" Try answering them now and see whether you would have made a different choice.
