Discussion
Discuss the ethical systems in regard to the following situation. Make sure to discuss the deontological and teleological ethical systems, besides identifying at least two more ethical systems. The heart of this discussion is the correct application of the ethical systems and not your general opinion about the scenario.
You aspire to be a police officer and are about to graduate from a criminal justice department. Your best friend has just been hired by a local law enforcement agency, and you are applying as well. When you were freshmen, you were both caught with marijuana in your dorm room. Although you were arrested, the charges were dismissed because it turned out that the search was illegal. The application form includes a question that asks if you have ever been arrested. Your friend told you that he answered no because he knew this agency did not use polygraphs as part of the hiring process. You must now decide whether to also lie on the form. If you lie, you may be found out eventually, but there is a good chance that the long-ago arrest will never come to light. If you don’t lie, you will be asked to explain the circumstances of the arrest, and your friend will be implicated as well. What should you do?
