Decision-Making Vignettes

movie. You learn that your friend's parents will not be home. Your parents do not
want the two of you there alone. How do you decide what to do?
2. You have not completed a book report due soon. By chance, you find a
completed, typed book report, which was dropped by accident at the bus stop. All
you have to do is put your name on it and hand it in. How do you decide what to
do?
3. You have heard some "gossip" about a friend who may be using alcohol and
smoking marijuana. You want to help your friend, but you don't know whether the
gossip is true. How do you decide what to do?
4. You were asked by a person you know only casually to carry a package to a
nearby store. The person is acting somewhat mysteriously, and you are unsure
about what to do. How do you decide what to do?
