I've found this topic rather interesting for a long time, actually. How different people react to different situations and I figured I might as well make a thread out of it, because yolo. Anyway, I would like to see exactly where everyone's morals lie, if that's okay. By this, I mean setting up a few hypothetical situations and hopefully you guys reply to them. Personally I think this would be a bit interesting, don't you? Of course, I will give my opinions on my own situations as well because I don't wanna be left out.
1. You are walking down the street and you see a man slumped against the wall in casual attire. You can tell he is indeed not a bum/druggie/anything that would normally be slumped against a wall in a drunken/psychedelic stupor and you aren't exactly sure if he is conscious or alive. Apparently nobody else notices this man since he is still there or if they do notice, they don't care to help. What do you do?
2. You are driving down the street in the pouring rain and at night. As you are driving by, you can just barely make out a drenched pregnant woman straining to change a flat tire in the shoulder of the road. She is also alone with nobody else stopped to her aid. What do you do?
3. You are a witness to a recent crime that was brought to court. The man who is in custody is 100% innocent, this you know for a fact and your testimonial can save him from life in federal prison, however you also know that if you were to testify, the person who actually committed the crime would come after you putting your and/or your family's life in jeopardy. If you do testify to save this man whom you do not know's freedom, you do have the option of witness protection for you and your family. What do you do?
4. You are driving down barren road with nobody else on it aside from you. As you are doing so, you spot a child who is barefoot and weeping, their clothes a mess walking down the road totally alone. Nobody else appears to be around, but as you consider stopping you also remember hearing on the news that recent violent gangs and criminal organizations have been luring unsuspecting people in with children in order to mug/kill/abduct them. If this was the case, said criminals could very well be hiding nearby. What do you do?
5. (The classic) A young person and a senior citizen are hanging from a cliff, neither of which you have any relation to but you are the only one nearby. You only have enough time to save one of the two before the other slips off. With that in mind however, since you are the only one nearby and there are no witnesses, you also have the alternative option of aiding neither and no ill would come to you as there are no witnesses and you have no relation to either. What do you do?
