21. Sample Ethics Case for Youth A Promise is a Promise You are a member of the junior class at Anytown High School and you are part of a special project to raise money for the local Boys and Girls Club to help them build a basketball court outside their building. Three of your classmates paid a visit to the local grocery store owner and asked him for a contribution of $200 to go toward the basketball court fund. The grocery owner was delighted that your class is involved in such a good project for the community and gave them the money. Meanwhile, you and another student from the class visited the local hardware store to ask for a gift. The manager of the hardware store said he would give you $200, but only if the money was matched by another business, and if the money was used for the organization he supported, the local food bank. You both knew that the class had the $200 from the grocery store to make the match, but the class had voted for the basketball court project and your classmates had told the grocery store owner that is what the money would be used for. What would you do? Why or why not? Accept the money from the hardware store manager anyway? Thank the hardware store manager for wanting to make a gift, but tell him that your project is the basketball court and they have to finish fundraising to complete that project? Take the money and tell the class they have to change their project to the food bank and use the grocery store money for the match? Tell the hardware store manager that if he gives you the $200 for the basketball court project now, the class will do a fundraising project later for the food bank. What is the “right” thing to do in this case? What is the principle that governs your decision? 21
