From the Text: Internet Activity (page 262)

In the short story "The Lady or the Tiger?," the princess must choose between two unpleasant alternatives. The Institute for Global Ethics addresses ethical dilemmas. In particular, the website focuses on "tough choices" or those that "pit one right value against another." Visit their website at:



Institute for Global Ethics
The website includes the first chapter of Rushworth Kidder's book How Good People Make Tough Choices. Skim the introductory material and then carefully read the ethical dilemma that a librarian working at the reference desk at a public library recently faced. What do you think the librarian decided to do? If you were in a similar situation, what would you do?
