Part IV: Debate about the conflict of interest.
Another example I like explains here is an issue, for example, a conflict of interest. Imagine the situation where you are members of a commission, a commission such scholarships to be solved, has to provide scholarships to students, yourself apart to be member of the committee has applied for a scholarship, a scholarship to work for example to work in “Tallers”, giving some computer support, for example, some of you will finish sending any request and then, there are in a meeting in which you participate in one debate, in a discussion, in a decision, in which you are part. Why? Because your name is on the list of candidate applicants, and at one point reached your name and they have to decide if you get the scholarship or not, whether you realize it or not the scholarship, and this decision is an example of conflict of interests. The question is what would you do then? What is the behavior expected of us? Does anyone dare?
- Treat yourself as another.
- Treat yourself as another, do you think that you can treat you like any other?
- Yes, it would be the correct.
- Would be right, would be desirable, tell me.
- The most usual would be away, and not participate in the vote of the scholarship,
- The most usual would be apart you, and not participate in the decision, and, How you away?
- (…) Conflict of interest (…)
I think that there are two models of behavior. The first is what is expected, what happens is that is very difficult because ultimately we are people, are decisions of persons, if you decide that you are a good candidate for the scholarship you are deciding that some of the list isn't, it is better, the most elegant, and most commendable is what you say, declaring “listen, I am also a candidate, if you think when we get to the point of dealing with this issue, what I still do is leave the room and decide what you want, if you want, after, then invite me to come back and continue with the themes of the meeting”. It’s a way not only elegant, if not ethically correct to resolve the conflict of interest that can happen in the following years or months, it can pass you. We too passed as teacher, what we do exactly is that “listen as I am affected part, go out, and later I bring back”
