Coffeehouse 6 Danielle T

After reading the short story  “Say hello wave goodbye “ written by Tony Parsons .I can conclude that Jazz displayed acts of Deontology ethics .  Deontology  meaning “any system that involves a clear set of rules “. From the beginning of the story Jazz was  displaying behavior of being accurate and sharp regarding her job .Following the rules by the book she aware of  what her job entails and all that comes with it . Holding a job such as Jazz’s  position at the UKBA , for some they might find it hard , I’m sure people present all sorts of under the table side deals with enticing incentives   which  may be hard  for some to remain on the straight and narrow path  and even some may fall victim  , by taking a risk and allow them selfs to get caught up . It takes someone with a good core values and ethics to stand firm on what is wrong and what’s right. For example everything in the story led me to believe that Norm was in on the guy said that they both escorted off the plane I think he allowed him to escape when escorting him to the restroom. The details the author presented about the way he was acting and the way he kept wiping his sweaty hands into his pants and sweaty hands usually associate with being nervous, and why would he be feeling nervous if he was at work following the rules so  his actions lead me to believe that he wasn’t following the same ethics code as Jazz .On the other hand Jazz was following the  rules  she displayed proper knowledge of the correct protocol for  what to do when faced with these specific kind of situations  she knew what questions to ask how to differentiate lies from the truth how to read  people’s mannerisms etc .  This is all a clear display of deontology ethics because she was following the clear set of rules she was provided with to the tee.
