g. Keep a ring that you tried on at a store after accidentally going all the way home while still wearing it? – No

2. Do leaders have a special responsibility to make a good ethical decision? Why or Why not?

3. To whom would you go for advice when trying to make a difficult decision? Which adults would you turn to? Which friends?

a. My mom or dad and my friend Alaima and Kristi

5. Do you know any other versions? Nope.

6. How would you advise Victoria to do the right thing?

a. Choose either Emma’s Diary or Rocket Girl and buy the ticket for one movie and go to that movie. You can do something else during the other movie and meet up with your friends after.

7. How would you advise Mandy to do the right thing?

a. I would advise Mandy to suggest to Olivia to say, “Olivia, why don’t you put the bracelet back and go ask Kanchana if you could borrow it. I’m sure she’d let you if you ask.” I would suggest that Mandy talk to Olivia about what would happen if she damaged or lost the bracelet before the Girl Scout meeting.

8. How would you advise Kendra to do the right thing?

a. I would tell Kendra that he’d just be using her and it’s not worth getting caught for a guy that doesn’t really respect her. She should hold her own standards and wait for a guy that respects that.

9. How would you advise Paola to do the right thing?

a. If she is uncomfortable with that I would suggest her to walk away. If she wants to stay, I would tell her to quietly dispose of the cup so she wouldn’t look like she was “uncool” then get a drink on her own so she knows exactly what is in her cup. Then proceed with making her s’mores.

10. How would you advise Tasneem?

a. I would ask Tasneem if she has enough money for organic apples. If she does I would tell her that they would probably taste better and supporting local farmers is a plus. If not, the regular apples are still good.

12. Would it make a difference if: you would be a saving a 45 year old instead? No

13. What if the 45 year old was your dad? No difference

14. …another child/person will die if you save this one? No

15. I will do my best to help others and make the world a better place one step at a time.
