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 babysit his six-year-old brother. They realize Steve has made plans to go to the game but feels 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?

Being a son, Steve should obey his parents and stay at home to babysit his six year old brother, because it is always the duty of children to give respect to their parents' decisions. Though he was super excited about the football match in which his school team was going to play against the long term rivals, but because his parents' friends had a call for meeting them after so long, they asked him to stay at home as he could have many more chances of seeing such matches.

But being a parent, I should respect my son's program of watching the football match, and take the baby with me, so that the program of both son and parents would not be disturbed.
