Scenario
You are a manager of a retail store. You are given permission by the owner of the store to hire a fellow classmate to help out. One day you see the classmate take some clothing from the store. When confronted by you, the peer laughs it off and says the owner is insured, no one is hurt, and it was under $100. "Besides," says your acquaintance, "friends stick together, right?" What would you do?
Explain what you would do based on ethical formalism, utilitarianism, religion, and natural law.
Address each of these ethical systems in relation to the scenario.
