Dilemma II

Real Estate

  A lady from out of town calls you to list her deceased parent's home in liberty. She is not sure what it is worth, but says she will be happy to get $50,000 for the home. You look at the home and feel it is worth at least $75,000 and realize it would be perfect for your brother.
What do you do?



 It depends. If my brother was rich and had money, i''ll inform the lady that its worth more than $50,000 and will sale it to my brother for $75,000. If my brother was a normal person who can barely afford money for living, i'd sale it for him for $50,000 or a bit more with my help,  might help him with few Thousands. Because if he had money, $25,000 will not make a big difference to him, but if he wasn't rich; $25,000 can be a lot for him to afford. Its , and after all, its all just business. if it was sold in a low price, its her fault. She's the one who said she'll be happy to get $50,000 for the house.

  i would probably go and sell it to my brother with the $50,000 price, as family comes first. Although   business  is business, I would probably hesitate to make this choice. To say true with myself, i'll tell the women about the real price and how much does the home costs in the market. Hence, if she's still happy with the first price she gave, here i'll go and sell the house to my brother. This way i will satisfy both sides, i'll sell the house and yet, did this favor  to my brother. but, if she didn't actually agree on the deal, and she decided to go with what the home does really worth for, I will look for another person who will be interested in the home. I might not helped my brother in this home, but satisfying the costumers is more important to my career, sense selling the home with the $50,000 price to my brother; will definitely give me a bad repartition in my job. Although she's out of town and she will not know. However, she will defiantly have some relatives or friends in the town which for sure saw the home, and they'll tell her how much does it really did worth for.
Dilemma I
Two young men, brothers, had got into serious trouble. They were secretly leaving town in a hurry and needed money. Karl, the older one, broke into a store and stole a thousand dollars. Bob, the younger one, went to a retired old man who was known to help people in town. He told the man that he was very sick and that he needed a thousand dollars to pay for an operation. Bob asked the old man to lend him the money and promised that he would pay him back when he recovered. Really Bob wasn't sick at all, and he had no intention of paying the man back. Although the old man didn't know Bob very well, he lent him the money. So Bob and Karl skipped town, each with a thousand dollars. 




1a. I think that cheating and lying like bob is worse than stealing like karl
1b. Because unlike karl, who stole from a store who can always compensate for the stolen money, Bob stole from a man who needed the money more than Bob did.
2. I think the worst thing about cheating the old man is that the old man could’ve used the money for his own health or expenses.
2a. because the old man needed the money more than Bob did and it is unethical to steal money, especially from those who need it more.
3. Promises should never be made if they’re not going to be kept. Promises should be kept to insure that there are honest people in the world.
4. it is important to keep promises to anyone whether they’re just family and friends or complete strangers.
4a. keeping promises indicates honesty and good morals.
5. Stealing, in general, is an immoral thing to do so whether it’s a store, a bank or a restaurant, no one should steal because there are always other honest ways to get money.
6. property rights are important because they are benefits that people can use in services
7. yes, people should try to obey the law as much as they can
7a. because if they don’t, it will cause chaos.
8. No, he was being helpful
8a. I would say that the old man had good intentions and didn’t think that Bob was being dishonest about his story.

Conclusion
   Whatever difficulties a person suffers throw his life, this should not lead him to steal. there is always a better decent way to manage things.
