Ethical Dilemma Joe is a fourteen-year-old boy who wanted to go to camp very much. His father promised him he could go if he saved up the money for it himself. So Joe worked hard at his paper distribution and saved up the four hundred Ghana cedis it cost to go to camp, and a little more besides. But just before camp was going to start, his father changed his mind. Some of his friends decided to go on a special fishing trip, and Joe's father was short of the money it would cost. So, he told Joe to give him the money he had saved from the paper distribution. Joe didn't want to give up going to camp, so he thinks of refusing to give his father the money.
