Jacob 1. An ethical dilemma I faced during the start of the pandemic is if I should hug extended family. I come from a family that that’s what we do but I also didn’t want to potentially spread Covid.

Jacob- 2. I’ve faked until I’ve made it in my job where I make sure that even if I’m not in the greatest mood or annoyed by something that occurs that I always look happy and am friendly.

I think fake it til you make it is applicable to a lot of components of my life. Is it right that I put on a mirage that I have my life put together, or should I be expressive that I don’t have everything figured out.

1. I think I face ethical decisions everyday when we make a choice to do homework or go out. I feel like it’s a long term vs short term dilemma because in the short term I can go out and have fun but in the long term it could affect my grades and my education
2.  I think that as a leader in a student organization I have “faked it til I made it” when it comes to leading different events, especially when I am not comfortable being in charge.

2 I think its ok to use this statement only as a confidence booster when networking. Doing any actual "faking" risks running into unethical territory.

I faced an ethical dilemma when I was an RA at the height of COVID. —would I be strict in enforcing the mask policy, which made other feel more safe. Or would I not be as strict to help encourage community and allow for people to make little mistakes (IE forget their mask when they go to the bathroom.

Andrew - college in general. I think sometimes you have to suffer through your coursework and all the stress because you hope for a better future.

I used to use the term “fake it til you make it” when considering mental health. It’s not something that I used to think much about. It impacts me and others. Short term it might be easy to brush off but when avoided there are long term complications that may be inflicted on self or others.

Trish - one dilemma I faced was on respecting medical info of a family member. My sister set the maxim that we would be honest no matter what and that we'd allow people to also not disclose if they needed to.

1. Making decisions about my future - both options are right so how do I choose and how will that affect me.
2. Taking a leadership position when feeling like I don’t necessarily know what I’m doing.

I think everyone has faked it till you make it because nobody is truly 100% an expert on something. So when we go into a role and you have to seem confident in your decision but you don’t feel that way yourself you have to use that faking it till you make where you then yourself are as confident as you have been portraying yourself to be.

An ethical dilemma that I run into a lot is based on my career. I’m in between wanting to work towards my masters soon after graduation or taking more of a risk to start teaching overseas. I think this ties into long term vs. short term. Sometimes I have to fake it until I make it when it comes to things relating to my personal life like if I forgot something and needed to scramble to get something together.

In sales you are told to sort of become versatile with conversation to help find a solution for the customer and close the sale. Sooo sometimes in situations I have to “fake” what I know to close a sale or persuade someone to make a decision.

I often fake it til I make it while teaching lesson plans sometimes to my students! You never know how it’s going to work with the kids and faking it is the easiest way to get out of it if you make mistakes because they look up to you so much as the teacher.

1. I think an ethical dilemma a lot of people face everyday is telling a white lie in a situation or telling the truth. Is telling a white lie that bad? Or do you have the mindset of one lie leads to another bigger lie

Andrew - I think with just wanting to figure out what you want to do in life you are faced with short term vs long term constantly and so you have to make a decision that you think is best.
