Question

SCENARIO 2: Misleading for Good Purpose Vince is the inspector in charge of their local police station. The police station building is in direct need of repairs, but hasn’t received any grants from the government for years. One day, a typhoon hits a nearby area that damages most of the houses and shops. Although Vince’s police station gets partially damaged, most of the structure remains intact. Due to the incident, the government will send a disaster assessment team to ascertain the level of damage and will provide relief money for the affected areas. The Deputy Superintendent Mr. Simon, orders Vince and says: “Hire some laborers and destroy the remaining structure of the police station building. When the disaster assessment team comes, tell them that the building collapsed because of the typhoon, and ask them to give priority in funding the rehabilitation of our police station. After all, it is one of the most important public offices in town.” Vince wants to do the right thing and disobey his boss but at the back of his mind, he also considers that his boss is right and the end result will be beneficial for the police station. Requirement: Identify the disparity between belief and behavior in Vince’s situation.
