Pathos: Teachers sometimes do not realize that students have other responsibilities outside of school. Responsibilities such as taking care of younger siblings, working may be more difficult than expected. Teachers do not know that some students are babysitting their siblings because their parents work all day. Students may be working because their parents are struggling with the bills, which keeps the student under constant stress. These responsibilities go deeper than one would think, and can affect when a student will be able to do work. Especially now in a pandemic where depression and loneliness are at an all time high, students may not have the energy or motivation to do their work, but if they eventually do it, it should be graded. Not grading late work may put the student in a deeper pit and sometimes will make the student not turn it in at all. Work is better late than never so if I student turns it in late it should be graded. Everyone has things outside of school, sometimes laziness is not the cause of late work.
Answer:
confirm the company’s expansion through other sources before reporting it
be completely transparent in reporting about the company’s attempt to trade favors
Explanation:
The first ethical decision that the newspaper has to make is to confirm the company’s expansion through other sources before reporting it. This is because the company promised to share specific and exclusive information. Therefore, the newspaper team must make sure that the company is legit and has growing potentials.
The second ethical decision that has to be made is to be completely transparent in reporting about the company’s attempt to trade favors. In this way, other newspaper agencies and readers would come to know that it was a contractual advertisement rather than a paid one. It would improve the genuinity of the company as well as the commitment of the newspaper.
