Individual/Community: Both educators' actions are being driven by their individual needs. Their actions do not meet the standards of the profession or community.

I perceived the Basketball Team scenario as a comparison between short-term and long-term considerations. The principal ought to prioritize the long term well-being of the girls on the team rather than the immediate goal of winning basketball games.

I think Individual/Community fits best. Bill faces a choice between prioritizing Maud's welfare as an individual or the school's financial interests.

I think truth vs loyalty fits best here. The social counselor faces a dilemma of balancing honesty and allegiance. Being truthful might benefit her patient, while aligning with loyalty would involve staying true to her professional ethics.

I went back and forth between Justice/Mercy and Short/Long Term. In the end, I think Justice/Mercy fits best. The trooper was heavily weighing the duties of his job with mercy for the suffering victim.

I believe this dilemma to be of the individual vs. community paradigm. Ms. Loring is doing what she can to earn additional money to help support her sick mother even though that may mean she faces ramifications with staff, student body, parents, and community in general. It appears Mr. Endicott is also acting in a manner that benefits him as an individual but inappropriate to the community. I think both need to be aware that while it may/may not directly display their moral compass they need to consider the impact this may have on the community as a whole.

In the Basketball Team situation, the principal, faced a short vs. long term dilemma paradigm with the reputable girls’ basketball team at his school. Four starters left school to engage in excessive drinking and returned to make the dismissal buses. Much was at stake with the girls basketball team season as several starters were facing suspension, significant detention and/or being kicked off the team. In the short term, the girls could face a slap on the hand and the team go on to have a successful season. Other perspectives included that this was a cry for help and the need to intervene with detox was critical given their unstable home lives where abuse and alcohol was a driving factor. The girls could receive support through detox and counseling in an effort to truly do what is best for the girls for the long haul.

The Loyal Employee dilemma fits under the paradigm individual vs. community. Bill was in a position where he had to adjust staffing. While Maud was a faithful, devoted employee her work was subpar, and she struggled to grasp new technologies and changes in routine. He felt compelled to honor her as an individual as she was deeply invested in the school, yet her salary put a strain on the budget and community in general. Eliminating her position would benefit the bottom line and the community but highly detrimental to her.

The Social Counselor dilemma fits under the paradigm truth vs. loyalty. She struggled to maintain her professionalism but felt compelled to tell her client the truth and full complexity of her situation. In her profession, providing objective care without bias is of utmost importance but the social counselor also knew the ramifications of the young lady’s relationship with her unfaithful partner as he poses serious health risks to the girl. She feels loyal to share with the girl what is happening as she too, has been affected.

I believe the Trooper dilemma to be of justice vs. mercy. It was inevitable that the driver would not make it out alive regardless. While the driver begged for the trooper to take his life by shooting him, the trooper ultimately could not and had to stick to his principles yet acted with mercy, love, and kindness to put the driver to sleep to help eliminate suffering.

Justice V. Mercy. Justice would support the decision that the girls should be suspened and/or not allowed to play on the team for their Senior Year. Mercy would support the decision to appeal to the human side of the problem and focus more on the root of the issue instead of focusing on punishment.

Individual vs. Community. The text states that the requirements of the community made it plain that she should be released. However, Bill feels urged to consider the individual who only has 6 more years until retirement.

Truth Vs. Loyalty. The counselor is compelled to speak up and speak the truth to the woman who has come in. However, Loyalty to her position as a professional dictates that she should not disclose the personal information.

In my view, "The Trooper" exemplifies a conflict between Justice and Mercy. While the Trooper may have contemplated the merciful option of complying with the man's request and shooting him, the principles of Justice restrained him from doing so. Ultimately he was able to make a choice in the middle. He mercifully put the man to sleep, but also did not take his life. This appealed to the Justice side of the dilemma.

Individual versus the community.

If the only distraction came from the community making a big deal of it, then I would tend to show leniency for Ms. Endicott. As long as she is able to complete her duties and not making contact with her students through this business then I think I would err on the side of the individual.

# data[].attributes.body
Justice versus Mercy.

I think the principal could do both. He could suspend the girls using the school's code of conduct. The girls could also be suspended from the first five games of the season with a chance at playing if they were to prove they were in detox and receiving professional counseling. The only loose end is how it would look to the community when the school can't exactly communicate the consequences. In the end, I feel like the word would spread that consequences were handed down and support for the struggling girls. This could also be a precedent set for all children who violate the substance abuse part of the athletic code of conduct. Justice would be handed down and some mercy for the girls.

Individual vs Community. On the one hand, Maud is a financial drain on the company who provides little benefit. On the other hand, she is a person who has a life where she is struggling. It would benefit Bill as an individual to let her go but be devastating to Maud who is part of the community. Would it benefit the community in the long run by saving money at the liberal arts college and making it run more smoothly which results in a higher graduation rate?

# data[].attributes.body
The counselor as an individual puts herself in the other girl's shoes and decides that she would want to know the truth. She as an individual needs to remain away from personal involvement. It could ruin her as a counselor if the girl takes the information in the wrong way. The counselor feels a duty to her community to take the chance and tell the other girl.

The Trooper is individual vs community. As an individual, the trooper empathizes with the man's hopeless situation. Perhaps if the trooper was a civilian he would have helped the trapped man by shooting him. The Trooper is bound by his commitments to the betterment of the community. What if the community found the truth out? Is that a precedent that needs to be set?

# data[].attributes.body
Individual versus community because both Mr. Loring and Mrs. Endicott are acting in a way to meet their individual wants/needs (Mr. Loring-a beer at a topless bar and Mrs. Endicott-additional income). However, these actions are not a reflection of the morals and ethics that are expected of them with their roles as educators.

# data[].attributes.body
Individual v. Community: Mr. Endicott and Miss Loring, both have to consider the impact of this information on the community (either that Miss Loring is a topless dancer or that Mr. Endicott was a patron at a topless bar) and their own freedoms (respecting that what each of them chooses to do in their private life is their own).

Short-term v. Long-term: The trooper must decide between receiving the man's suffering now or face the consequences of breaking the law and killing a man as law enforcement officer in the long-term.

Short-term versus long-term because one side feels that the girls should be punished immediately through suspension, detention, or kicking of the team. These would all be short-term consequences to the problem of under-age drinking. The other side feels that these girls need detox clinics and professional counseling to support the girls with their current home lives. This would provide the girls with the support to hopefully make better choices in the long run.

I think Mr. Endicott is faced with an individual vs. community scenario. Both he and Ms. Loring have some individual freedoms and rights. However, the community may be impacted by their decisions which might also impact their ability to do their job. I think with most jobs, the individual gives up some of their freedoms in order to please the community.

I think the basketball team is an example of Justice vs. Mercy. Justice would be to issue a consequence for breaking the rules. Mercy would be to help the girls as they appear to be in need of counseling and not focus on the punishment.

I would choose truth vs. loyalty for the "Loyal Employee" . The truth is, Maud needs to be let go. Poor performance and a need to make budget cuts is the hard truth. Being loyal to a loyal worker would be your other option. I can also see a rational for short term vs. long term.

I can certainly see the "mercy" in the troopers decision. However, I would choose short vs. long term. If the trooper killed the trapped man, he would have to live with that the rest of his life (long-term).

In the Public or Private example, I described it as a self versus community because both Mr. Endicott and Miss Loring are public employees that need to be better role models for the communities they serve as positive role models for students.

I viewed the Basketball Team example as short term versus long term.  The principal should think of the long term mental and physical needs of the girls on the team over the short term needs of a winning basketball season.

In the Loyal Employee example, I would apply truth versus loyalty even though our text explains it as self versus community.  The truth is Maud needs to be let go for several reasons, but out of loyalty Bill should keep her on until retirement and explain to his staff that the reputation of the college is that they take care of family and each of them are family.

Short Vs Long term. Both professionals need to consider whether their actions in the moment could have long-term effects on their careers. In the short-term, the teacher is making money and the principal is having a beer in a different town at a topless bar. In the long-term, community standards may dictate that they be removed from working with children because of their questionable morals according to the community.

Justice Versus Mercy: The school has rules against these types of situations especially for athletes. However, there needs to be some mercy due to the circumstances. However, if we are considering the students' backgrounds, are we considering them individually? If so, could one also argue for individual versus community? In that case, do the needs of these girls for possible treatment based on their upbringing outweigh the good of the school community? Would we give the same consideration to other students in the school community? Justice versus mercy: treat all students with rules-based thinking or consider their whole situation.

# data[].attributes.body
I see many posts here about individual versus community, so to play devil's advocate, I will propose truth versus loyalty. Bill knows the loyal employee and she has worked at the school for a long time, but she can easily be replaced by a computer. The truth is that her work is average and she struggles with the new technology. So, should he be loyal to her, or face the truth that she really needs to go? If he decides to keep her on, isn't he ducking the truth that she is costing the whole community? (I would still say individual versus community, but I wanted to shake things up.)

# data[].attributes.body
I could see individual versus community with regards to Miss Loring's individual job choice after school or Mr. Endicott's personal choice after school. The community's choice, which is probably for neither of them to be working or attending an establishment like that. I also could see loyalty versus truth. Mr. Endicott being loyal to his teacher privacy and personal privacy. Miss Loring being loyal to her boss. Mr. Endicott telling the truth about what he witnessed to prevent future parent complaints etc. I think this scenario could go either way in terms of the paradigm.

Short-term versus long-term because he can end suffering in the short term, but would have to carry the burden of killing someone forever. I might also consider justice versus mercy as the trooper needs to be fair and just in the fact that we don't kill people. He also feels the need to have mercy on the man and put him out of his misery.

Justice versus mercy - The principal has the choice to discipline the girls for their choices of leaving school without notice, underage consumption, and returning to school in a drunken state. Otherwise, he shows compassion since they are poised to win a state title and the girls are excellent athletes that will promote activities. The choice is simple justice or mercy (I think justice!).

# data[].attributes.body
Individual versus community - In this scenario, Bill has a choice of whether or not he wants to be loyal to a dedicated employee who does a fine job at her work or be more fiscally responsible for the community and fire the woman. It is best for Maud to be employed as she lives for her job, but the community wants to replace her with a computer.

Truth versus loyalty - May's loyalty to her career and professionalism should stop her from saying anything about her ex-boyfriend. At the same time, the ability to tell the truth about the man would give her validation and some sense of revenge. Also, it provides protection for future individuals and the woman in front of her.

# data[].attributes.body
The social counselor is managing truth versus loyalty. Telling the truth could certainly be helpful for her patient, and I believe the loyalty side could be argued between being loyal to her profession and maintaining personal distance against being loyal in her role as a counselor and ensuring she is doing everything to help her patient. (Although, the latter would likely require the involvement of a colleague to help manage the professional distance.)

For me, the trooper is a matter of short-term versus long-term. The death of the man was inevitable, but how the man died was up to choice. The short-term consequence in the moment was to make the man as comfortable as possible. The long-term consequence if he did not calm the man was to live with the recollection of how terrible of a death he had.

This example best fits the short versus long-term paradigm. Mr. Endicott has stated to his staff that as long as their lives outside of their professional work do not interfere with each other, then it was none of his business. Ms. Loring made it very clear that she needed extra income to care for her aging mother. Mr. Endicott is now weighing the options of what could potentially happen if word got out that Ms. Loring has a second job in this setting and Mr. Endicott visiting the establishment for an occasional beer.

The basketball example falls under the justice versus mercy paradigm. The principal here has to make a decision to either follow the strict and very straightforward rules of the activities department and state high school league to suspend the players for the first few weeks of the season, rather than to give mercy on the girls while digging deeper into their home-life situations and what may have led up to their underage drinking.

This example falls under the individual versus community paradigm. Bill's decision to keep Maud a part of his staff, even after it was evident that her position needed to be cut for budgetary reasons. Knowing Maud was close to retirement and having little to no savings built up, her loyalty to the company helped Bill realize that her individual circumstances outweighed what was best for the company, furthermore shuffling other positions and money around to make it fine in the end.

The trooper is acting most likely in the short-term versus long-term paradigm here. The trooper is thinking from the present point of view. The trooper looked at the immediate need here which was to either end man's life per his wishes, or live with guilt knowing that he had killed a man

The social worker counselor is acting in the truth versus the loyalty paradigm. The counselor knows the relationship between her ex and her current client and knows telling the truth is something that could benefit long term and get the facts she needs. Her loyalty to her job is also important, but understands that the right thing to do is to be honest about what she knows.

The response to the behaviors of these basketball players would be justice versus mercy. Especially in an activities setting where a clear-cut set of rules are often applied to athletes who commit specific violations, there is a tendency to see or hear about the justice side of this paradigm. At the same time, mercy could be applied if there are concerns around personal or familial struggles that may have contributed to the players' behaviors.

I went back and forth between short-term vs long term and individual vs community. Short-term vs long term because of the need to end the sufferering of the trapped man who didn't have long to live and the long-term weight that would be carried by the tropper for killing another human being. Individual vs community because the trooper was faced with meeting the needs of the trapped man or meeting his own need of having to live with knowing that he killed a man.

Justice versus mercy: The principal has to decide what to do with players who left school and got drunk. On one hand he could punish the players for breaking the rules. On the other hand, he could take into account the trauma the girls have endured at home and find them the support that they need.

Individual versus community: A financial decision needed to be made on if the school should keep a loyal employee.

This one, for me, is squarely in the short-term versus long-term. It is a matter of the in-the-moment decision for the trooper to kill the man per the man's wishes weighed against the long-term feelings of having done so as well as the possibility of unending thoughts of how he could have miraculously been saved in the final moments.
