Ethical Dilemmas discussion  


Participants: Josue Alcocer, Nancy Perez and Mateo Puentestar 

Discussion about: The birthday present

 

Two of your friends buy you a lottery ticket as a gift. you win 10 million. Would you share the money with your friends, who only  spend 50p each on your birthday present?

Me: Regarding the birthday present dilemma; I would share a part of the money with my friends, because they gave it to me as a gift and the intention is what counts.

Josue: I consider that it is not necessary to share with my colleagues because I earn it and I only want to enjoy it myself.

Mateo:If I would share a part of the money or choose to have a small meeting in gratitude to my friends because thanks to them I was able to win the jackpot of the lottery

Me:I do not agree with your comment, since they were the ones who gave you the birthday present

Mateo:I agree with Nancy since it is good to be grateful and even more so if thanks to them you were able to win something in this case the lottery.

Josue: I do not agree with any of you because it is supposed that they gave it to me and that is my gift and the coincidence that I have won it does not mean that I have to share with you if you have nothing to do with what I won.
Me: It is true, it was a present, and you have every right to do whatever you want with it, but there are times when it is better to give more than what we receive, even if it is not just to your friends, but to those who need it.


Discussion about: Shoplifting

You are in a shop and you see someone putting a necklace in their purse without paying. would you report it? What could influence your decision?

Josue:Yes, I would report it to the authorities because it is wrong and if it does not stop from the beginning, he will continue to do it and steal or take things from others that they do not lend you, it is very frowned upon
Me: I would do it too, because it is an act that is wrong, and it would be good for both the thief and the owner of the store. Well, that's how the thief would be corrected.
Mateo:I also agree that I would report it since it is practically a robbery and it is also a very important loss for the business owner and I would not remain silent and report it immediately.

Me: We all agree to report this incident, but we must also take into account the different causes of the incident, according to the thief and his past or according to the owner of the shop.

Mateo:Yes,because it depends on the perspective of the thief, it is not known if he is a father of the family or someone who tries to bring a bite to his table but nobody denies that he is acting in a bad way since he is taking something that does not belong to him because there are ways in that you can earn a living.
Josue:Although he or she tries to bring food to his family, the ways are not correct since he could work and feed his family

Conclusion: We think about the correct thing to do in each situation and all the points of view of the group members were taken into account to reach a correct and successful decision.
