Code Breakers

Here are the Ethics concepts that I pulled from the movie Code Breakers. The movie was based on a cheating scandal within the West Point Academy, where values are upheld to a high level. The ones who were cheating were trying to justify their actions because of keeping true to thier friends within the ring, but were not being true to their inner values.

Do I tell on my friends?
We are instructing officers, who will our men follow into battle, a liar and a cheat?
Is it ok to go undercover? to shake hands on things? to give people your trust, just so you can turn them in?
i can lie to myself, i just cant lie to an officer who asks a direct question
Mark for life-less than honorable discharge
did it to keep the team together-did it for the coach-thought he wanted it that way
Threats--what does that help? he's not going to change his story
Throw away 4 years of hard work? your life?
using values of an officer to justify why they have to lie
whistle blowers thanks is that no one will talk to you, threats, etc.
Will not betray my friends--that is the only honorable thing to do
Did the coaches or department have anything to do with it?
Now that you know everything, do you think we should have told the truth?
Are they really men of Character? coach says no honorable discharge, and no right to brand them as criminals
