This clip conveys an ethical issue one may encounter on an everyday basis. This group of teens are trying to figure out how to raise money for a good cause but they came accross a dilema. They dont know how they are going to be able to raise enough money in a limited amount of time. They came up with ideas such as establishing a car wash but they dont believe this will financially fit their criteria. Then one of the group members gave the solution of a sponsership with a tobacco company, but is this ethical? Once these groups of teens thought about the sponsership with the tobacco company and what message this would be conveying to others, they decided to take a majority vote. Like what we discussed in chapter two, this group of individuals decided to take a vote to see whether or not this is ethical, which the majority thought it would be wrong to have a tobacco company sponser them.
