Being a resident assistant is a tough job. It is a job that has made a person stronger and more confident over the past year. This is not a job suitable for students who are afraid of confrontation. There are two types of resident assistants that I have observed. The first type of resident assistant is one who gives any resident a ticket for the smallest of things. The second type is the one who tries to be friends with everyone and sometimes lets things slide. Finding a balance between the two is a pretty rare feat, but it can be achieved. There will be times when a resident assistant needs to write to someone they consider a friend. There is always an ethical choice that comes with authority as to whether or not you should report a person or turn a blind eye. This exact situation happened with my fellow resident assistant; Kimmy. Resident Assistants are required to tour their assigned dorms approximately once a week. However, that doesn't mean they can't report misbehaving residents at any time of the day. One evening, as Kimmy was walking down her hallway, she noticed that there was a lot of commotion in one of the rooms on the first floor. Upon knocking on the door, Kimmy noticed that there were a large number of people in the room and alcohol was clearly visible. West Chester is a dry campus and for this reason, no alcohol is allowed on campus, regardless of your age. The first step is to call public safety, as they handle any alcohol-related incident. However, prior to arrival, resident assistants may ask everyone in the room to show their identification. One of the residents begged Kimmy not to report her or give her a...... middle of paper ...... thirteen of the article he states that after people heard what Leyla said at the Senate Banking Committee hearing in Baton Rogue, they gave her a standing ovation because hundreds of people had been defrauded by Stanford (Beautiful Souls). This shows that people appreciate what others sacrifice for justice. Everyone on my team appreciates what Kimmy has done and we are proud of her. If I've learned anything from this entire ethics document, it's that we should always care about everyone, whether they care about us or not. We should always strive to give our best and try to help as many people as possible. Something, even if we are placed in situations where we must think of ourselves first and foremost. This may sound somewhat selfish, but it's true. I feel like I'm better prepared for the day I have to make an ethical decision like this..
