You are traveling in a government bus to attend a very important job interview. In one hour you should be present at the interview venue. The bus is very congested. Luckily you are seated. From your seat you observe that a middle aged man standing next to a girl is touching and trying to molest her. The girl is silently resisting and trying to move away from him. But the man is continuing his actions. As the bus is congested, nobody is noticing this except you. In this situation, what will you do? Explain. If you do not do anything, which values will you be compromising? Explain their importance. 10 marks

      Hi Parakh
      The case presents the vulnerability of women and glaring safety issues that exists today not personal benefit and sympathy.
      Write about the ethical values involved like sexual harassment in a public setting and victimization,violation of bodily integrity,objectification of women etc.
      After giving your seat to the girl,instead of going police station by yourself you can convince the girl to file a complaint against the man in the nearest police station as you have your important interview.
      Work on your handwriting, it takes times to understand your handwriring,
      Conclusion is good.
      Keep writing !

      Hi Deepika
      Case is also about the glaring safety issues that exists today.
      In the ethical issues involved ,write these points – self-interest versus societal-interest,ignorance versus upholding the rights of a person.
      One should not save his/her mother and sister only, so avoid writing these things.
      Your course of action is pragmatic, keep it up !
      Question is asking what will you do, not what he/she will do, so write accordingly.
      Concluding remarks are good.
      Keep writing !

      Hi Dakshina
      In the introduction of case studies,briefly discuss the case.
      You have rightly explained the stake holders involved but in the ethcal issues involved write-
      -Male atrocity on the weaker sex.
      -Self-interest versus societal-interest.
      -Ignorance versus upholding the rights of a person.
      -Bringing the perpetrator to justice.
      Your course of action is not pragmatic, you should give your seat to the girl, to ensure the safety for the rest of the bus journey and if need be, you should convince the girl to file a complaint against the man in the nearest police station.
      This will ensure the safety of the girl and will save your interview as well.
      Use of flow chart is appreciable.
      Good concluding remarks.
      Keep writing.

      Hi NJ
      Good introduction.
      Write what are the ethical issues involved in the case.
      In your course of action, you wrote that scold that man in harsh words, NO ! , this is not practical, you could have indulge in a fight that can ruin your interview.
      There is no need to show courage at this time.
      Instead you should convince the girl to file a complaint against the man in the nearest police station.
      This will ensure the safety of the girl and will save your interview as well.
      Think in a broad sense.
      Good concluding remarks.
      Keep writing !

      Hi Chester
      In the case studies, first mention what the case study is all about then write the other things.
      You have directly explained the steps that you will take, first write the stakeholders and ethical issues involved in the case, then come to the course of action.
      Follow the proper structure to get better marks.
      Chester calling police is not a viable solution as you have your important interview, so be practical and give your seat to the girl, to ensure the safety for the rest of the bus journey and if need be, you should convince the girl to file a complaint against the man in the nearest police station.
      This will ensure the safety of the girl and will save your interview as well.
      Write about the values that would be compromised if you do not take any action.
      Then conclude.
      Plan the structure before writing.
      Work hard !

      Hi Unnati
      In the case studies, first mention what the case study is all about the write the ethical issues involved under a different heading.
      You have an important interview , and you cannot compromise on that, so do no raise the voice against him, so be practical and give your seat to the girl, to ensure the safety for the rest of the bus journey and if need be, you should convince the girl to file a complaint against the man in the nearest police station.
      This will ensure the safety of the girl and will save your interview as well.
      You have explained the moral issues that will be compromised in a decent manner.
      Overall a decent attempt.
      Work on your handwriting, write neat and legible.
      You have the potential, keep writing, you will succeed.
