Question

megan is a rental agent for the Oxford Lake apartment complex. The work is fairly boring, but she’s going to school in the evening, so the quiet periods give her time to catch up on her studies, plus the discounted rent is a great help to her budget. Business has been slow since two other apartment complexes opened up, and their vacancies are starting to run a little high.
The company recently appointed a new regional director to “inject some energy and creativity” into their local campaigns and generate some new rental leases. Her name is Kate Jones, and based on first impressions, Megan thinks Kate would rent her grandmother an apartment as long as she could raise the rent first.
Kate’s first event is an open house, complete with free hot dogs and cokes and a clown making balloon animals for the kids. They run ads in the paper and on the radio and manage to attract a good crowd of people. Their first applicants are Michael and Tania Wilson, an African-American couple with one young son, Tyler. Megan takes their application. They’re a nice couple with a stable work history, more than enough income to cover the rent, and good references from their previous landlord. Megan advises them that they will do a background check as a standard procedure and that things “look very good” for their application. After they leave, Kate stops by the rental office. “How did that couple look? Any issues with their application?” “None at all,” answers Megan. “I think they’ll be a perfect addition to our community.” “Don’t rush their application through too quickly,” replies Kate. “We have time to find some more applicants, and, in my experience, those people usually end up breaking their lease or skipping town with unpaid rent.”
QUESTIONS
1. What would be “the right thing” to do here?

2. How would you resolve this ethical dilemma?

3. What should Megan do now?

Answer 1

Answers are given below-

1. The right thing to do here is that to confirm that what Kate said is literally mean as she said it, and if she is judging these African-American family from their colour, race, religion or anything else that do not cover their humanly behaviour. Firstly Megan should have to confirm this things.

2. Being ethical means conforming to accepted moral standards.An ethical dilemma is a decision-making problem between two possible moral imperatives, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable. Here in this case it's easy to resolve this ethical dilemma. Obviously Kate is wrong and she is not following ethical values, as she is being racist. It's wrong to not rent someone a property j7st beacause they belong to some race. African-Americans are abused in America by some white American natives. Clearly, Kate is doing the same thing.

3. Megan should not have to follow instructions of Kate because they are ethically and morally wrong. Megan should have to file a complaint against Kate in head office. And if the officials in head office would not take any action against Kate or if they support Kate, Megan should have to file case against her department in court. And she have to inform Michael and Tania Wilson about what is happening with them. And then they have to fight against this discrimination in by law

Thank you.
