Doing the Right Thing
M egan is a rental agent for the Oxford Lake apartment complex. The work is fairly boring, but she's going to school in the evening, so the quiet periods give her time to catch up on her studies, plus the discounted rent is a great help to her budget. Business has been slow since two other apartment complexes opened up, and Oxford Lake's vacancies are starting to run a little high.
The company recently appointed a new regional director to "inject some energy and creativity" into its local campaigns and generate some new rental leases. Her name is Kate Jones, and based on first impressions, Megan thinks Kate would rent her grandmother an apartment as long as she could raise the rent first.
Kate's first event is an open house, complete with free hot dogs and cokes and a clown making balloon animals for the kids. They run ads in the paper and on the radio and manage to attract a good crowd of people.
Their first applicants are Michael and Tania Wilson, an African-American couple with one young son, Tyler. Megan takes their application. They're a nice couple with a stable work history, more than enough income to cover the rent, and good references from their previous landlord. Megan advises them that they will do a background check as a standard procedure and that things "look very good" for their application.
After they leave, Kate stops by the rental office. "How did that couple look? Any issues with their application?" "None at all," answers Megan. "I think they'll be a perfect addition to our community."
"Don't rush their application through too quickly," replies Kate. "We have time to find some more applicants, and, in my experience, those people usually end up breaking their lease or skipping town with unpaid rent."
What would be "the right thing" to do here? How would the "Golden Rule" on page 6 relate to Megan's decision?

التوضيح
Golden Rule
Golden rule express the goal of living an ethical life i.e. treat others the way you wanted to be treated. However, the danger with the golden rule is that not everyone follows the same principle that one does in their lives. Example: A person can believe in speaking only truth but he / she cannot expect that whatever the other person is saying is truth.
In this case study, K appointed as a new regional director and M is working as a rental agent. The first event of K is to find good crowd for the open house. When M bought an application of African and American couple with good financial stability to rent the house, K asks M to put it on hold. K thinks that such couple would break lease with unpaid rent according to her experience.
M thinks that the couple has good financial stability, stable work and good references, which makes them to be suitable to rent the house. She is considering the application in the way she lives her life but the danger in golden rule is that not everyone follows the same principle that you believe. So, here the right thing to do is considering the ethics i.e. rules of appropriate behavior for a society. Thus, K would like to look for more applications in order to evaluate best application that meets the common standards.
