Ethical Issue Of The Day

Today's ethical issue; is it right to photoshop a photo of yourself that's going into an organisations seasonly bulletin?

Yes up to a certain point. Removing the garish wallpaper behind you and getting rid of spots is okay (after all, they'll be gone in a week), whitening teeth, restyling hair and brightening eyes is probably pushing it. Removing your face and replacing it with Brad Pitts is definately wrong.

I have to do an essay on an ethical issue I'm facing in my placement in a few weeks time. Any suggestions of an ethical issue that might happen to conveniently ¹ crop up are welcome.

Footnote

I love the word conveniently. You can make any innocent statement sound totally planned and diabolical if you insert that adjective. Compare "The exam paper happened to be the same as the past paper I was studying last night" with "The exam paper happened to be the same as the past paper I was conveniently studying last night". Example 1 = "I'm sure it was an innocent accident, we'll let you keep your A* grade", Example 2 = "Cheating is a serious offence, we'll take that A* grade from you as well as all your other grades. Start practicing those burger turning skills."
