Assignment No. 2 Sara is a junior at a state university. Her roommate, Katie, is currently enrolled in Educational Psychology. The day after Katie turned in her second paper, Sara was straightening up their apartment and found what appeared to be her Ed. Psych. Paper from last semester. However, as she looked at it closely, the paper had Katie's name on it but was identified to the paper Sara has turned in last semester! Obviously, Katie has simply copied and pasted Sara's paper, changing only the name and date. This put Sara in a difficult situation because she knew that Katie was falling behind in her classes because of some personal problems she was experiencing, yet she had obviously committed plagiarism. Given the scenario above, identify in the following the six stages of Kohlberg's Models 1. The university Sara and Katie attend has a zero-tolerance policy regarding plagiarism, so Sara is obligated to contact the teacher and tell him/her that Katie had plagiarized her paper 2. Sara shouldn't confront Katie about the paper because she might lose her friendship 3. Sara shouldn't say anything because Katie is experiencing some personal problems and confronting her about the paper wouldn't be a nice thing to do. 4. Sara should tell Katie that she knows what she did, that she is really worried about her, and offer to go over to the Counseling Center so that she can get the help she needs. S. Sara should report Katie's plagiarism to the department chairperson because she may need a letter of recommendation or some other help from her, and if she does report the incident, the chairperson will owe her a favor. Sara should tell the teacher that Katic copied her paper because plagiarism is a big problem on campus, and it would be best for everyone to take action to stop it. 7. Sara should contact the teacher right away because the teacher might think that she had allowed Katie to copy the paper, and she (Sara) might also get punished along with Katie. 8. Sara shouldn't say anything about the paper because Katie is a big woman with a bad temper! 9. Sara should tell Katie that she knows about the paper and tell her that she (Katie) must tell the teacher what she did. If she does not, Sara will go and talk to the teacher. 6
