【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 cter is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future. Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can39。t see the risks we39。re taking, we can39。t make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn39。t know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. But the fact that such a violation is unintentional does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense. But Everybody Does It Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themseelves about the risks they39。re taking by using excuses: Everyone else does it, I39。m not hurting anyone, or I really need this grade. Excuses can get very elaborate: I know I39。m looking at another39。s exam, even though I39。m supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that39。s not cheating because I39。m just checking my answers, not copying. We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we39。re not doing anything wrong, we can39。t see the real choice we39。re makingand that leads to bad decisions. To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you39。d rather hide your actions, that39。s a good indication that you39。re taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself. Evaluating Risks To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits (what39。s in it for me), and simply haven39。t considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a 0 on a test or assignment。 an F in the class。 Suspension or Dismissal from school。 transcript notation。 and a tarnished reputation. In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that punishment might be. This
