Decisions Dive

Worksheet Description

The “Dilemma Decisions Dive” worksheet presents students with two distinct ethical scenarios requiring immediate decisions. The first scenario involves a moral quandary about whether to report a friend’s illegal activities, which are described as financially supporting his mother. The second scenario puts the student in a potential emergency situation where they must decide how to safely evacuate from a house fire while babysitting. Each situation is designed to prompt students to think critically about the implications of their choices and to articulate their reasoning.

This worksheet is intended to teach students the principles of ethical decision-making and crisis management. It challenges them to consider the ramifications of their actions on others and the importance of safety and moral integrity. By confronting such scenarios, students practice making quick, informed decisions that reflect a balance of moral considerations and practical safety concerns. The worksheet also encourages students to develop empathy and to recognize the gravity of decision-making in challenging situations.
