Identify two scenarios from your life in which you had to break a promise and tell a lie, respectively. Apply each ethical theory to your two examples to explain how each theory would justify the action (of breaking a promise and telling a lie). When finished with the assignment, every category box should be filled-in. Lastly, answer the three short answer questions at the bottom of this template. Be sure to cite pertinent course materials in APA format to support your knowledge of these theories.

Break a Promise:

I had to break a promise when my two mutual friends were fighting with each other over their car damage. Each one was thinking that other had damaged intentionally. I had to break a promise that It was due to an accident and nothing was done intentionally but the other has promised me not to tell you before he repairs the car. I had to break the promise with my one of friends to end up their fight.

Tell a Lie:

I never tell a lie and always believe in speaking truth. There was a situation where I had to tell a lie to my cousin who was in hospital and doctors informed me that he is at last stage of cancer and there are very few chances for his survival. I lied him saying that he is at initial stage and proper treatment can free him from this deadly disease to keep him motivated to live.  

Explanation:

Telling a lie or breaking a promise is only acceptable in utilitarian ethics, where there is good for everyone. A person can lie to someone if he believes that speaking truth may create problems.
