Application of ACS Codes of Ethics (Ethical Dilemma)Some ethical dilemma in organization need analysis before application especially when the situation can be contradicting. In this situation presented by portfolio 3 it is hard to decide what to do. In my opinion, telling the other students will not be an option because this can cause unnecessary tension in the organization and after investigation, I will be the root cause. Also in case I keep the information to myself, it will not help because I need the answers as to why the management made the decision to award the scholarship to unqualified student.

The attempt to offer the scholarship to unqualified student was therefore not good and it is a breach of the professional code of ethics. Trusting the manager on any other decision that involves the other people will be very difficult since he is able to give judgements based on his/her personal interests[ CITATION Aus161 \l 1033 ].According to NR4.3.4, The ACS derived the code for social implications.
