You are a rookie correctional officer at a state prison. The day is coming to an end and the inmates are in their cells. As you

make your rounds to count heads, one of the inmates asks you if you’d bring him a piece of dental floss. He says he has an uncooked grain of rice from dinner stuck in his back teeth and it is very painful. He only needs a small piece, surely not enough to pose any problem. According to prison rules, dental floss may only be used in the shower area, under observation. It is apparent to you that the inmate is in discomfort, and you know this inmate to be well-behaved. To decide how you will act, you consider the ethical systems that might apply to the situation. If you decide to provide the dental floss because you believe it will alleviate the inmates suffering, even though it means breaking the rules, which ethical system would this illustrate?

Answer: Reciprocity

Explanation: Reciprocity is an act of kindness towards someone that is done with a belief that if I do good to you , you are likely to return the favour and do good to me.

If someone has been good to you it is likely that you will want to be good to them too, such as this inmate who has been well behaved and who has not caused problems for the officer.

Since he has been good the officer wants to be good to him . That is reciprocity.

Allison is eight months old. according to Piaget, when she sees her ball roll behind the television set, she will not look for it. allison is in Piaget's sensory; physical stage of cognitive development.

The preoperative stage occurs between the ages of 2 and 6 years and is the second stage of Piaget's stages of cognitive development. During most of the preoperative period, the child's thinking is egocentric or egocentric.

The formal surgical phase begins around the age of 12 and continues through adulthood. When adolescents enter this stage, they acquire the ability to think in an abstract way and manipulate ideas in their minds without relying on concrete manipulations (Inhelder & Piaget, 1958).

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Motive, Crime of Passion and Sam is a suspect

Explanation:

Motive for killing a person will be determined by the intent to kill in terms of the circumstance surrounding at the very moment. If Sam's wife had committed the act as he claims and then she is now missing this leads to a motive if she is found dead.

A Crime of Passion may have also occurred if he was distraught by hearing the news that he was betrayed. In that instant he may have lost his judgement and committed a crime, if, in fact, she is found dead.

However if is very likely that Sam is a suspect in his wife's disappearance as he was the last person to have been with her right before he disappeared. Not only this but he was heard saying that harm may come to her which establishes that they were not on good terms.
