[I will only restate the questions in a more easier way]

1. write down "facts" from the passage that describe the situation.

ex 1) you are a member of the national guard

ex 2) you approached a family with three children

ex 3) their is a hurricane disaster coming

2. What are moral principles that you can see from the family? What are the concerns of the family and the child and perhaps even from us in this situation?

3. What is the next best thing to do in this situation?

ex) evacuate by force

4. create a plan on how you would act according to Question 3.

ex) step 1: warn the family

step 2: call in backup

step 3: evacuate by force

5. Carry out your plan that you explained in Question 4.
