Carol has long wanted to have a cell phone because she is the only one who doesn't have one with her friends. Their exam mark is also coming up. Her parent said they would be happy if they could get a high score on the marked exam. As a reward, he will buy her a cellphone. So Carol worked hard to get a good grade for her exams.
When the day of the marked test came, Carol saw that only a few of her students came up with questions. So he looks at his neighbor to make sure his answers are correct. Carol told herself that in case she copied, she would only do so now for two reasons: first, to make her parents happy and second, to have a cellphone.
Is his reasoning correct according to the Natural Moral Law?
