Question

Look at the sentences below about rules at work. Then work in groups and discuss these questions.

Answer

  • Rules 2, 4 and 6 seem fair as they are there to make sure everybody is treated equally.
  • Rules 5 and 9 are clearly sensible as they are there to prevent accidents. 
  • Rules 6 and 7 are there to protect the company’s computer systems.
  • Rule 10 seems fair. 

Students may feel the other rules are unfair, although they may argue that in some situations they could be there for good reasons.
