Scene to read · Communication, Ethics
Help me word it fairly
You rent a desk at a shared office near your home.
Ines waves you into a phone booth where she and your mutual friend Leonard sit with her laptop. A package vanished from her porch. Her doorbell clip shows someone in a delivery vest carrying the box back to a van; the face is a blur, and the delivery company has not answered her two reports. She has drafted a post for your area's online forum naming the route's afternoon driver.
The scene
Ines: Same vest, same van, same time as Marcus's route. The company's ignored me twice.
Leonard: Post it now. Three porches lost boxes this month. People need warning.
Ines: It could cost him his job, I know. Help me word it fairly?
Leonard: Fair is naming him before box number four. Just fix the wording.
The two questions
- 1How would you respond to Ines's request?
- 2What do you owe someone who is about to be publicly accused when the evidence is uncertain?
What raters look for
