How you interact with others is based on your underlying ethical assumptions and beliefs about appropriate and inappropriate ways to to other, example the following. Your instructor breaks the class into small groups to work on a project. A member of your group has a friend who took the course already. He suggests that your group select the same discussion topic that his friend had so that all of you can benefit from the research already gathered by his friend's group. Is it ethical to use the previous group's work? Are there any conditions that would make it more ethical to use the other group's work? Even if the group you're in gathers additional research, is it appropriate to "borrow" heavily from the work already completed by others, especially if the goal is to learn how to conduct original research? In this situation, what would you do or suggest?
