In the following, discuss whether Marina is treating relevantly similar cases in sufficiently similar fashions; identify instances in which the cases are not relevantly similar.Marina tells her children to tell the truth, but she claims deductions on her income tax return to which she knows she is not legally entitled.

What will be an ideal response?


This is hypocrisy again: There is an inconsistency between what she says and what she does, but it is not one of treating similar cases differently. She would be treating such cases in dissimilar ways if, for example, she told her children to tell the truth and also told them to lie on their income tax forms.
