Assignment - Case Studies
Your task:
What would you do in each of the situations described below?
Situation 1 - Party
You are invited to a party at a friend's house. A close friend offers to give you a ride. When you arrive, beer is available. The close friend who gave you a ride drinks but also eats throughout the evening. About five hours later, when it's time to go home, your ride seems sober even though he had several beers earlier on. You know there's a risk to being a passenger with a driver who's had even just one drink, so you don't want to ride home with your friend. What will you do?
Situation 2. Home Alone
Your parents are away so you decide to host a small party in the back yard. Someone posts the party on-line, kids you don't know show up and people are drinking. Your friend is punched in the face and the house is being damaged. What would you do?
Situation 3. Pain Meds
You have a headache and you want a plain Tylenol. The person with the locker beside you offers you a prescription pain pill from his parent's medicine cabinet. What will you do?
