Identify in a couple of sentences the “ethical dilemma” (or ethical question) inherent in the Case selected. Pose an open-ended question that generates many possible answers, not just a question that can be simply answered with a “yes” or “no” response.
The ethical dilemma in the Jake Baker case concerns our nation’s most fought for and prided amendment, the freedom of speech. The main issue we, a society, face in this case is the right to feel safe and when does that become violated? We should use our best judgment to distinguish when someone is exercising their first amendment right or if they are stepping over the boundaries into life-threatening remarks. The question we would like to pose is “When should we deem a statement life-threatening?”
