Case Two: Duty versus Personal Conflicts Zoom user is a clerk in Commissioner’s office. Zoom user also performs extra work due to shortage of staff. Raising and taking down the flag over the office building every morning and evening is one of his extra work, although it is not part of his official job description. Zoom user comes to know that Asiimwe Edgar, a politician having criminal back ground dies. Few years ago, Zoom user’s best friend was shot dead during a riot allegedly arranged by Asiimwe Edgar. An order passes from the president to all the District offices of the city, to keep National flag at “half -mast” over their offices, to mourn the death of Asiimwe Edgar. Zoom user gets angry with such degradation of the National flag after watching this news on TV. He decides to stay at home next day and keeps the door keys of roof top with himself. Zoom user is confident and thinks “this was not part of my official duty; I was performing extra work so no formal punishment can be given to me. Commissioner will definitely scold me informally but I don’t care because Asiimwe killed my innocent friend”. Question: 1. Has Zoom user made the right decision? Yes/ No/ Why? 2. Using the correct ethical theory, discuss this situation.
