Report Violation?
An engineer is hired to evaluate the structural integrity of an aging, occupied building that the client intends to sell. The contract specifies that the engineer's report must remain confidential. The client explicitly states that the building will be sold "as is" with no plans to repair or renovate any systems prior to sale. Upon conducting structural tests, the engineer determines the building is structurally sound. However, during the assessment, the client reveals that the building has deficiencies in its electrical and mechanical systems that violate applicable codes and standards. Although not specialized in these areas, the engineer recognizes these deficiencies could potentially harm the building's occupants and informs the client of this concern. The engineer must decide whether to maintain client confidentiality or to report the violation.
What is a Scenario?
A scenario represents a situation that requires ethical decision-making. Scenarios are created within the context of a world, which provides the framework, rules, and domain-specific elements for the scenario.
When creating scenarios, you can define various elements that represent real-world ethical challenges. These scenarios can involve different characters with unique roles, various resources with different availability, and specific constraints that shape the decision-making process.
The ethical challenges in scenarios can range from resource allocation dilemmas to professional responsibility questions, depending on the world's domain and context. Each scenario provides an opportunity to explore complex ethical reasoning in a structured environment.
Each scenario includes:
- Characters - The individuals involved in the scenario
- Conditions - Conditions affecting characters (injuries, constraints, etc.)
- Resources - Available resources relevant to the scenario
- Events - Timeline of what happens during the scenario
- Decisions - Choices that need to be made
Simulation Process
- Create or select a scenario
- Review the characters, conditions, and resources
- Examine the timeline of events
- Make decisions when prompted
- Review the evaluation of your decisions
The system will evaluate your decisions based on:
- Compliance with established protocols and guidelines
- Ethical considerations from multiple frameworks
- Comparison to similar historical cases
