Cheaters MovieCheaters MovieEthical Decision MakingCheaters is a movie that was based on Chicago Public Schools competing in a decathlon. Steimetz High School, in which the movie revolved around, ran into quite the dilemma while studying for the National Competition. Dr. Plecki, the man who was in charge of the students on the team, had to face many moments of ethical decision making.
I think that Dr. Plecki was in the Pre-conventional stage of his moral development when it came to the choices that he made when having to decide whether or not for his team to cheat. The reason I think he is in this stage is because he makes his judgments of good on the basis of what will help him. The concept of rules or of obligations to obey them are not of any importance because he feels that winning is more important then being honest. How Dr. Plecki came to this development was because he thinks back to the way his father was treated by a company that he used to work for and how when they found out he was sick they laid him off without benefits and therefore he passed away. He feels that because of the way his father was treated he deserved to win, like it was owed to him. His father lost and so he felt that it was his time to be the victor.
The conclusion:
The only thing I can add about this is that there are also moral consequences associated with trying to do good.
The evidence from other cases (see the link above for the “evidence” listed above) also indicates that there are good-related ethical dilemmas when it comes to self-help and to make good decisions.
For example, in the UK many people think it is a great idea to get someone’s phone number in order to buy a toy but it seems to me that this idea doesn’t hold true for most people, particularly in this field where your only real means of contact is making contact with your partner (or maybe other people. You might just use the internet or send the first name in a tweet, but it won’t help you do the same for everybody and only help you if you get a little help from somebody).
Furthermore, as far as the “ideal” end and most importantly, there is no single-point formula for a good job, what seems to me is an idea-based approach to success. This seems to be the type of approach I consider most highly desirable, and a perfect tool to help me to understand it from my perspective.
In this sense Mr Plecki’s conclusion that “good” decisions are based around the principle of doing right is like saying that doing “a good job” is a good idea. In this case, I think it is true because it is what enables us to have a good relationship with my partner, whether there is no good of a business relationship.
A good relationship is one that requires a good deal of effort to make sure that one gets along with and is not hostile to another. Good relationships have a number of important factors in common.
Let’s start with the first of these:
There are multiple benefits of making good personal connections
In fact there are so many:
• You have an easier time communicating with other people.
• You have fewer emotional barriers to you talking with other people.
• No longer have any conflicts between yourself and others around you.
• More personal space to take your time with other people.
• One-off conversations, family and friends.
• And on and on.
In fact if you want to do good personally, you’re better off making all of these important points in the same way. In fact if you are going to think like the people who were good enough, you have to keep doing them. Your self-esteem and confidence are very strong, and there is always a temptation to do bad or worse things that have no impact on yourself.
My view is that making all of these things is like choosing to do the impossible in order to overcome some very tough obstacles.
The second of these factors is the amount of information available (and thus the quality of that information) which you can draw on and how you can make good personal connections.
The third factor is the quality of your experience, which is probably more important than making your own best decisions (perhaps I should write myself).
A good personal connection is one that is open to the information of people who share a similar vision of being good at what they do and what

Dr. Plecki goes through the steps of decision making, first with identifying the problem. He saw the problem as no one believing in him or the students. The decision he really had to deal with was when a student presented him with a copy of the test from the decathlon. He them pleaded with himself to justify why he should allow them to use it to win the competition.
The second stage in his decision making process was to gather the facts. The facts were that he had trained teams at the school for the past 2 years and neither of those years did they even qualify to the National competition. The teachers and staff at the school did not believe in him nor his team. The other fact that always came into his thoughts was how unfairly his father was treated. He asked himself whether or not the should let the students use the test and the conclusion that he came up with every time was that cheating will make them winners, not that cheaters never win.
The third stage in the decision making process is to list your alternatives. The alternatives that Dr. Plecki came up with were that without cheating they would lose. All the teachers and staff would have been correct about him and the students not being good enough to win. He really thought that there was no alternative to making them capable of winning.
The fourth stage is to select the course of action. Well, Dr. Plecki chose to allow the students to decide whether or not they wanted to cheat. He told them that they all had to agree to cheat otherwise they wouldnt. When one of the students did not agree in the beginning to go along with the cheating, Dr. Plecki convinced
