Case: Claudia and Jiyon are best friends. They were childhood pals. Given Claudia's lack of a paternal figure and her mother's illness, the pressure of meeting their demands took its toll on her mental health, resulting in depression. Jiyon is currently employed as an inventory manager, and he referred Claudia to the business/company where he works. Claudia was hired as a chef. Because of Claudia's despair and financial situation, such incidents have contributed to her Kleptomania diagnosis. Claudia began stealing little objects from their office, such as silverware. It would later evolve into more valuable items, such as money. Jiyon realized Claudia was the culprit after witnessing Claudia in the process of stealing money from the business's funds. Jiyon understands the circumstances around Claudia's behavior, but he is torn about whether he should remain silent about the matter. Given that he is Claudia's closest friend, he is supposed to provide her with the support she deserves. QUESTION: Applying the ethical theory of Rule Utilitarianism, what do you think Jiyon should do in the situation? A. Jiyon should warn his coworkers to be more cautious with their valuables in order to keep Claudia from taking them. B. Jiyon has a moral obligation to report Claudia's misbehavior to their employer. Transparency is one of the most important standards to follow in any workplace. Jiyon must keep this principle in mind and will not tolerate Claudia's wrongdoings regardless of the circumstances. C. Jiyon will choose to remain silent in order to protect Claudia from losing her job. D. All of the above E. None of the above
