Ethical Decisions

Would you read them? Take them? Ask her

about them when she returns?

No I would not read them, take them, or ask her about them when she returns because if the roles were reversed I would find what the person was doing unacceptable. I think that it's wrong because it's stealing and I would not that to be the impression I want of myself or my company. I think that I would try to ask for more information on the topic or ask if she had anything more to add instead of just snooping.

Would you do it? Why or why not?

I don't think that I would be that invasive. I think I would first try and get into contact with some people that formally worked there, or patients that may have previously stayed there and left the facilities. I think if I were to get hired and told of something I saw to my editor it would violate the privacy that would be required of that job, which could lead me into trouble which I want to avoid.

May you use those quotes as if you

obtained them yourself, or must you

credit the other written source?

–What if you obtained the quotes from a

web site?

You have to credit the other source because it would be plagiarizing if you claim it as your own. The same thing goes for if the quote was from a website.
