| One of the special projects you worked on in your AP Computer Science class was a paper about pirated software. In researching the paper, you found a website that listed ways to tell if software on a system has been pirated. You test out this list against the school's system and discover the VPN software is pirated. You think you've made a mistake and investigate from a different angle, and confirm that the software is pirated. Your best friend advises you to say nothing, and promises that you will only get into trouble. One of the coolest kids is passing by when you are having this conversation and pauses to proclaim his certainty that you would never do anything that could get you into trouble. |
Tell the IT Director what you have discovered about the software, even though it will make him angry and you might get in trouble. |
| You notice that your child is upset about something, but you're reluctant to ask her about it, since she's been acting "funny" all semester. You could ask her what's bothering her, but you're afraid it will lead to another fight. When she started high school, you required her to give you a list of all her passwords to email and social media, so that you could keep an eye on her. Now, afraid that she's done something wrong, you need to decide what to do. |
You log in to her email account and read the emails she sent to the IT Director. You tell your child she has done the right thing, but she's furious that you read her emails. |
