Decision-Making Scenarios
Scenario 1
Football season starts this weekend and Steve is excited about his school’s first game. He has
already purchased his ticket and has made plans to meet his friends there. His school team is
playing their long-time rival and it should be the best game of the season. On the night before the
game, Steve’s parents receive a phone call from friends visiting in a city 30 miles away. Steve’s
parents have not seen these friends in years because they live in a distant state. Friday night is the
only time Steve’s parents can drive to see their friends. Steve’s parents have asked him to stay
home from the game to baby-sit his six-year-old brother. They realize Steve has made plans to
go to the game but feel that he will have an opportunity to attend many more games this year.
Steve’s parents will let him make the final decision. What should he do?
Scenario 2
Marie is in the 4th form at a High School. She earns above-average grades in all of her school
courses except science. Her favorite after-school activity is playing basketball. She would like to
play basketball in high school next year. However, the high school says that athletes must pass
all their classes in order to participate in a sport. This summer Marie can participate in a special
summer science school that will help her in science. She also has been given the chance to go to
basketball camp. The basketball camp takes place the exact time as the science school. Marie has
two weeks before she either has to sign up for basketball camp or summer science school. What
should she do?
Scenario 3
A not-so-popular student has invited you to a sleepover at a birthday party on Friday night. You
have accepted the invitation and are planning to attend. On Wednesday, you are invited to a boy-
girl party for the same Friday night by one of the most popular students in your school, someone
you have hoped to become friends with. After talking with your friends, you realize most of them
will attend the boy-girl party. Your parents have told you it is your decision, but that you should
attend the party you responded to first. You really want to be a part of the popular crowd. What
do you do?
