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.
