This is designed to enable you to grasp the elements of ethical sensitivity more concretely and to assess your own level of development with respect to these abilities. The point here is not so much whether your description of the situation is right or wrong. The important thing is what this description reveals about the acuteness of your sensitivity to the ethical dimensions of the situation.
