Case Analyses, B&R
Below are 4 ethically-loaded scenarios. For each scenario (so, 4 times total):
1. Briefly describe (in a sentence or two) two possible courses of action that could be followed in
the scenario.
1.1. “In the decision of whether or not to skip class on a whim, I can either skip class on a
whim or go to class.”
2. For each of the two possible courses of action, identify and briefly explain (in no more than 3
sentences each):
2.1. the scope of the action, or how many people are affected by the action,
2.2. the benefits or positive utility (+) of the action (0-10; about how beneficial was it?), and
2.3. the cost or negative utility (-) of the action (-10-0; about how costly was it?)
2.4. Then calculate the total utility for each course of action:
Total utility = (scope) x (benefits + cost)
