Moral/Ethical Question #1

Unless it was a close friend or a family member, I would keep my mouth shut. It's not like those things never happen, and telling other people is just gossip with the intent to hurt. Telling the person's spouse would be the same. Confronting the person is sticking your nose in other people's business.

We had case analysis questions like this in morality class last year. I already forgot the guidelines for deciding on what to do, though. I don't know if not saying a thing is the right way to go, but if this happens to me, I would probably say nothing about what I saw because I'm not the kind of person who likes to meddle with other people's business (sometimes even with my own relative's business) and I'll be too shy to say a word. Which reminds me...I found out something about our family that my parents would probably not want me to know, because they kept it a secret and I found out about it accidentally without their knowing, and I didn't tell my mom about that I know about it. I do hope what I found out was not true, because if it were...

It depends on who close the friendship is. If I know that friend so well- I will talk with him the next day or the soonest possible time. No way to tell the spouse- coz I don't want to cause any trouble. It is better to talk with the concern friend (who did the act) who knows there might be something that I (being a friend) doesn't know about their relationship/marriage. But if that friend is not a close or dear one- (like a common friend)- I won't dare to interfere with their business.

If they are not my close friends i'd mind my business, but if its a close friend of mine then id have a talk with the cheating person first and then id talk with ,y fried dependind on what the spouse had to say.

I thin it is difficult question. Because this case is personal business. If I find the case, I will do nothing and say nothing at the first as well as wait and see, to make sure whether other friend look this case or not. If the case is common habit of him I believe there are many person in our community will talk about this. Yes, I just wait and see.

I would like to say that of course I would tell my friend, but eho knows. It would depend on the relationship I had with the friend. I would want to know if it were my husband cheating. I cannot keep a secret so I would have to tell someone.

Look the other way and mind your own business. It is nobody's business but the two people involved.

I could easily say that if it involved a family member then I would tell them. But more than likely I would stay out of it. Right or wrong, things can all to often get ugly when you stick your nose into other people's business. I think it's something you have to think about before you make a hasty decision. If it were a friend I would definitely stay out of it and if they couldn't understand my reasons why then I guess they wouldn't be much of a friend anyway. I just think it's wiser in most every case to mind your own business and let the situation handle itself. You never know how the individuals involved, including the person being cheated on, are going to respond to you blowing the whistle. And there is no reason for you to risk getting hurt in some way by getting involved in business that is not yours to begin with. If someone's life were somehow in danger then, yes, I would blow the whistle in order to save that person's life but I would still have to be deliberate in determining the best course of action. Otherwise, I woud just butt out.
