Martha McCaskey Case

Think about how you might explain whether Marthas situation is a slippery slope. (The Slippery Slope: People are more likely to justify small misdeeds than large ones. But when those small misdeeds are followed by progressively larger ones, the tendency to justify expands accordingly. The result is that people are more likely to commitand justifya major unethical act after they have worked their way up to it with a series of escalating misdeeds.)
