Slide Deck

Welcome to Hypothetical Scenarios

Introduce the slide deck and provide context to the students. Explain that they will be exploring hypothetical scenarios to better understand ethical decision-making. Encourage active participation and respectful dialogue.

Scenario 1: The Lost Wallet

Present the first scenario involving a lost wallet. Ask students how they would feel and what actions they would take upon finding a wallet filled with cash. Encourage them to consider issues such as honesty and civic responsibility.

Scenario 2: The Cheating Dilemma

Introduce a scenario about academic integrity. Encourage the class to discuss the pressures and consequences associated with cheating. Ask students to consider when, if ever, cheating may seem justified and why it is important to maintain integrity.

Reflection & Discussion

Wrap up the slide deck by prompting a reflective discussion. Ask students to share what they've learned today and how they might apply these ethical considerations in real-life situations. This is a good moment to synthesize the discussion.
