I know this is more like a quiz but i deckded i wanted to do this in the study, so you can also give explainations for your decisions.
1) You find a pocket on the street. It has a passport in it, and also a hundred dollars. Your best friend is in the hospital, and he/she needs money quickly. Or he/she might not be able to go to the doctor, and might die. Do you:
a. return the money to it's rightful owner
b. take the money for your friend
c. keep it for yourself
2) You are a child worker in india, forced to work illegally in a basement, making rugs. You get tortured by your boss. One day he tells you that no one, absolutely no one has bought any oof your rugs you have made over the years. Would you:
a. be dissapointed and anguished you went through all the hard work for nothing.
b. Be happy no one is benefitting from your cruel treatment.
3) You are on a sinking lifeboat. It is sinking because there are way to many people on board. You could save your, and other peoples' skins by throwing some people overboard. you:
a. throw people overboard
b. can't do it.
4) You are a patient at a hospital. There are six other patients, who desperately need new organs, but there are none available. You have an illness, and will probably die, except if you get a certain medicine. Would you:
a. get the medicine.
b. Die and donate your organs.
5) You are a cop, and chase down a robbed, who just robbed a bank. There are no witnesses. The man enters a hut, and there you find two sick children. The man explained that they are poor and homeless. the mother of the children died of the same illness, and he took the money to save his children.
a. The law is the law. Arrest him.
b. There are no witnesses, so i'll let him have the money and report that he escaped. -
for me:
1) I'd take the money for my friend.
2) I'd be dissapointed and anguished. I will not be happy no one is benefitting, and my boss might make me work even harder.
3) I probably couldn't do it. I'll probably just sit there, freezed, hoping for the best.
4)Take the medicine, and then feel guilty afterwards.
5)The law is the law. I'd hope someone else would help them. Besides, i'm a terrible liar. -
