Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: She used the justice approach, realizing that the greater good is served because people learn to help each other in their own interest.

Explanation:

Justice approach: an ethical decision is a decision that distributes benefits and costs (or punishments) among those involved in a fair, equitable, and impartial way.

Paula used this approach because she believed the agents had acted improperly and that they were harming the US Secret Service.

I consider any organization a team, so in order for it to work well its members must be respected both by their peers and by the other teams´ members. If you consider the various types of activities this specific agency carries out, other not so friendly "teams" (other secret services or even terrorists) could use this type of information to damage or compromise those activities. So the well being of all the country was being jeopardized by a group of bad agents.
